Our Story
uBuhleBakhe water is a subsidiary company started from very humble beginnings. The holding company named 4 Bontle Buhle Bakhe Projects Pty Ltd was registered and has been in existence since 2014.
uBuhleBakhe Water is the 1st of the many subsidiaries still to be registered under Bontle Buhle Bakhe Projects Pty Ltd. This is a Legacy that Colleen is building for her daughter and all future generations to come.
The Name “Buhle” is taken from the Director’s daughter’s name Nobuhle. The Name “Bakhe” is about God and His sovereignty; His love, grace and mercy , (including His wonders and miracles) that the family has seen in their lives. Notwithstanding all the challenges, hardships, trials and tribulations that they have faced, the family has continued to see God’s Hand upon their lives. Hence the subsidiary company name uBuhleBakhe, meaning God’s Beauty and Goodness.
