Mixing Concrete and Commitment
AFRI-READYMIX POWERS HFM 

Thabazimbi – When Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer’s (HFM) rugby team faced a shortage of jerseys, it wasn’t just an inconvenience — it was a challenge that forced players to swap jerseys between matches. But thanks to a generous sponsorship from Afri-Readymix, that problem is now a thing of the past. On Wednesday, 5 March 2025, Afri-Readymix officially handed over brand-new rugby jerseys to the school, ensuring that every player on the team is kitted out and ready for action. But their generosity didn’t stop there. Recognising the need for improved sports facilities, Afri-Readymix also contributed to the renovation of the school’s locker rooms, helping to create a space that players can be proud of.

Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer’s headmaster, Collin Campbell, expressed his gratitude for the company’s support, emphasising how much of a difference the new jerseys and upgraded facilities will make for the school’s rugby programme. 

The sponsorship is just one of Afri-Readymix’s recent milestones. The company, known for its high-quality concrete solutions, has also expanded its footprint by opening a plant in Northam, Limpopo.

Afri-Readymix directors Christie van der Mescht, Gerhard Maree, and Werner Weiss were present at the handover. Their commitment to community development and sports upliftment is evident in their actions, making a real impact where it’s needed most.
