Grahamstown-based Makana Brick has announced new senior staff appointments and changes following the resignation of managing director Colin Meyer, who remains with the company on a consultancy basis.
 

Nico Mienie, managing director of Algoa Brick in Port Elizabeth, has been appointed as the managing director of both Algoa Brick and Makana Brick.

Neil Zondagh from Johannesburg has been appointed to the new position of operations manager, while Mark Hunter-Smith of Port Elizabeth has been appointed as sales  director of both Algoa Brick and Makana Brick.

Mienie and Hunter-Smith will be based in Port Elizabeth, while Zondagh will be based at Makana Brick, a few kilometres outside Grahamstown. His wife and children will join him at the end of the year.

He started his working career in the mining industry before joining the brick manufacturing industry with Apollo Brick 10 years ago.

Zondagh is very positive about Makana Brick and feels that the current economic situation is now turning. “At first sight I could see the potential of this factory,” he said.

Mienie brings a wealth of experience to Makana Brick, as he has been a shareholder and executive member of Algoa Brick since 2003.

He is based in Port Elizabeth with his wife and three childrenbut travels to Grahamstown at least three times a week. Mienie said that Makana Brick owes its success to his predecessor.

“Due to Colin’s commitment and hands-on management approach, this has become one of the most hi-tech factories in the world.”

Mienie said his short-term goals are to take Makana Brick out of the slump it has experienced during the current economic crisis.

Makana Brick serves Grahamstown and  district, plus other Eastern Cape cities and towns such as East London, Queenstown, Aliwal North, Cradock, Adelaide, the former Transkei and coastal areas.
