Building a Legacy of Excellence Since 2011Our History
Silokotho was founded as a Primary Cooperative in Umlazi in 2011 by five cooperative members seeking to address unemployment challenges in the township. The name “Silokotho” comes from the phrase “IZILOKOTHO EZINHLE,” which translates to “best wishes,” reflecting a hopeful and positive vision for the community.
Our unwavering and relentless commitment to achieving our vision caught the attention of the Beier Group, a prominent player in the textile industry. They generously provided us with a shipping container, which we converted into a workspace to produce clothing. Impressed by our work ethic, the Beier Group went a step further by offering us a factory and connecting us with other PPE manufacturers. Since then, we have been on a remarkable growth trajectory
