Each layer of slate has its own unique colour and texture.

These slate layers are excavated with a pinch bar, chisel and hammer. Each piece of raw material are carefully checked and inspected to ensure that it has a usable (undamaged) surface.

Indigenous people (mainly Setswana) are trained as quarrymen (to excavate the slate) and factory workers (to check quality, cut and process raw slate into final products).
Our labourers are the backbone of the company (excavating, quality checking, cutting and processing). Most labourers start unskilled or with little school education are then trained to perform different functions.
At least 40 labourers are constantly employed.
One of these trainees (Martiens Tsetse) was appointed manager last year, after 13 years of training. 

Only high quality raw material is cut to tiles, hand selected for thickness. Smooth and rough surfaces are separated by hand and loose chips are removed through a hand split process.
