Africa-Press – Eswatini. Independence isn’t built overnight, it takes sweat, patience, and the steady stacking of every brick and block. For Mthunzi Masina, this hard work has grown into a multi skilled business offering block baking, retaining wall installation, landscaping, and more. Over the past 14 years, his company has not only supported his family but also created jobs for others.
“I started this business because I wanted to depend on myself and do something I enjoy,” Masina says. Fourteen years later, that simple dream has transformed into a multi skilled operation based in Eteni (Esibayeni) and Ebuka (Ezulwini), offering landscaping, block baking, paving brick production, and retaining wall installation.
Mthunzi’s work goes far beyond laying bricks or planting lawns. He bakes and installs retaining walls, produces paving bricks, and manufactures building blocks from scratch. Over time, his business has become known not only for quality work but also for reliability with service deliveries reaching Manzini, Tubungu, Mbikwakhe, Moneni, Mvutjini, Elangeni, and surrounding areas.
But running the business has not always been smooth. As a solo entrepreneur, he carries the full weight of operations on his shoulders managing clients, marketing, doing manual labour, and handling deliveries. “The hardest part is doing everything alone marketing, delivering services, and trying to find customers it’s not easy,” he admits.
Even so, he’s not entirely alone. Behind the scenes, his wife has remained his biggest source of strength. “My wife has been the backbone of my success. She’s helped me stay motivated and grounded, especially during difficult times,” he shares.
His business has also become a source of income for others. “I currently work with eight people on piece jobs,” Masina explains. Whether it’s for bricklaying, block delivery, or wall construction, these opportunities have helped other families earn a living something he’s proud of.
Masina also sells beans in 5kg and 50kg bags, available in Mbabane and Sidvwashini. “We don’t farm the beans ourselves yet, but we buy and sell them to meet customer needs and keep the business diverse,” he explains.Those interested in the services offered can contact 7804 5494. The business operates Monday to Saturday, from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
Mahas quietly built a legacy not just through bricks and cement, but through persistence, family support, and community empowerment. From block baking to landscaping, and from delivering beans to employing others, his story is one of resilience and impact.
