The Office

Where the Company is Run

Our office in Hendrina is the strategic centre of Makabasa Lifestyle. It is where client relationships are built, partnerships are structured, and the standards of the company are kept.

The office team handles the day-to-day discipline that lets the rest of the business run smoothly — administration, scheduling, supplier coordination, sales support for the lifestyle collection, and management of every shipment that moves through the warehouse.

Led directly by directors Kabelo Thobejane and Xolisani Vilakazi, decisions are made by the people who are accountable for them. No long chains of command. No diluted ownership.

— What We Do —

Office Capabilities

From administration to partnerships, the office is built around six core capabilities that hold the company together.

Administration

Disciplined record-keeping, scheduling, and back-office work that keeps every part of the company traceable and accountable.

Client Engagement

Personal, responsive service — from a first enquiry on the lifestyle collection to long-running B2B relationships with partners.

Partnership Management

Structured agreements, clear deliverables, and the kind of follow-through that turns one project into a long-term relationship.

Operations Oversight

The office sets the pace for the warehouse — inventory targets, dispatch schedules, and the quality bar applied to every shipment.

Sales & Retail Support

End-to-end support for the lifestyle collection — enquiries, styling guidance, order coordination, returns, and after-sales care.

Strategic Planning

Hands-on direction from the company's leadership — clear priorities, measured growth, and decisions grounded in the long view.

Leadership

Directors Who Show Up

Kabelo Thobejane & Xolisani Vilakazi lead Makabasa Lifestyle hands-on. They are not signatures on a page — they are in the office, in the warehouse, and in the room when the decisions are made.

The company is built around their conviction that small details done well become large advantages over time. That conviction shapes the office, the lifestyle collection, the warehouse floor, and the people who work across all three.
