For Wayne Da Costa and Gideon Monyelekgau, that journey started on the factory floor of Tensile Rubber Hoses in Rosslyn, Gauteng.

Long before they became business partners, they spent years learning every aspect of the company.

Wayne worked his way up to managing the operation, while Gideon’s journey began in the garden before moving into production, studying further and eventually leading product development and quality.

Then came an opportunity few employees ever receive.

When the previous owner decided to sell the business in 2014, Wayne and Gideon made a life-changing decision.

They invested their pension savings and became equal owners of the company they had helped build.
