Water

In 2008 Bulembu Water obtained Emafini - a water cooler rental and bottling plant just outside of Mbabane (Swaziland’s capital city). At the end of 2008 the Emafini brand was officially changed to Bulembu Water and the operation was moved from Emafini to Bulembu in early 2009.  During this time a borehole was sunk in town allowing Bulembu to bottle some of the purest natural spring water in the country. 

Currently, Bulembu Water’s twelve employees supply 20 L water coolers to over 150 local customers. The recent November 2009 upgrade of the water bottling facility now enables employees to bottle and package 500 ml bottles, which are distributed around Swaziland.

Future plans for Bulembu Water include expanding the cooler customer base, securing more major distribution contracts and expanding the product range to include sparkling and flavored water.
