Why have Ingwebu Breweries employees downed tools? 🔵Managing Director Dumisani Mhlanga said the company has been struggling with losses caused by ageing infrastructure, including boilers dating back to 1946. He added that the company is expecting investment to improve salaries and modernise its brewing equipment. Employees have been on... strike this week, demanding payment of salary arrears they say have been outstanding since September last year.show more

The brand had so much goodwill in Matabeleland.The region was a viable nichè.They failed to evolve and strategise, Chibuku saw the gap and slid in.I don't know what Ingwebu business model and USP are but i can tell you the issue isn't the product,its positioning.

The explanation raises more questions about his effectiveness than it answers. Ageing infrastructure dating back to 1946, prolonged losses and salary arrears are not sudden events but symptoms of years neglect! Explains why Innscor fired him!He is incompetent!!

Are you a viable company if your equipment is over 60Y old? It's no surprise they can't pay their own. "Managing Director" managing what exactly, if they can't even stop chowing profits for a moment, and let the business breathe 🫁. They couldnt outrun reality, time to wake up!

So they didn't know that the equipment would at a certain time need to be replaced? Don't they factor in depreciation of plant and machinery in their cost structures?

You will be surprised that executive team is getting salaries , executive cars etc

Dumisani msunu wakhe pay those workers regardless or close simple

@DavidColtart @mamakaCleo @Ingwebuzw took sorghum from farmers in Chikombedzi under a contract farming scheme in 2025 and they went awol till to this day no communication, while farmers are languishing in poverty yet the management are getting paid receiving their perks.

At least they are working hard to get what’s theirs. Not these journalists that get vehicles from the bloody 🩸 regime that they act like they criticise. So many things are making sense now.

No solutions in 7 years. Aah madoda.

Give workers their salaries full they have nothing to do with those excuses.

Ingwebi is led by an incompetent lot, even knew equipment can not help this ones Another problems is a shareholders whobdoesnt care!!

Says an incompetent MD.... useless

Meanwhile he’s getting his salary and perks every month

Your volume is very low today. You have no sound engineers?

They are probably driving latest land cruisers while the machines that bring money are left to rot

This is really bad, and people have been continuing showing up to work all along

Surely you can’t still be relying on 70year old equipment at this day and age

To think that they once wanted to lure me from my job at an Innscor Group company at some point is absurd🤔

Wen did he last get paid

So why have you not replaced them? The buck stops with you. This feels like a person confessing to their own incompetence.

Jus buy Chinese boilers wena

16 months without a pay. Let’s find an investor fast and start making profits

6 months he is still trying to find an investor. How about borrowing its a council business with enough credibility. Its a mgt problem than anything else

Where is David Coltart the mayor of byo Company under your city of Kings employees have gone months without salaries. How can you white nose man dream of being clean when you leave parents of innocent kids at home going for months without pay

What does it take to replace ageing Boilers ? What's the current cost of a Boiler.

Well that means the MD needs to be fired.

Usnt thus the guy who gave a CIO conman money to recover debts owed to Ingwebu and the conman collected chowed the money, in excess of $20 000...then made him employ some buddies

Nyathi & Super are doing well with the same product you are confessing to be failing with. Are you sure you are the right person for that MD position? What are your competitors doing right which you are failing to do?

Please tell us this is an April fools day that just came almost a year to early! In July, you're saying the last time you're employees were paid was in January! Almost 80 years old equipments still in use. The Mugabe gangsters are nothing but a huge joke. You can't even run a business to manufacture umqombothi, what exactly can you do! You can even fix roads or even cut grass along those dilapidated roads! Nothing is as dangerous as brainless thieves!
