Company description

This race has become one of the biggest events on the Grahamstown calendar and is very unique as each participant (runners and walkers) is given a pineapple. Every third person received a spot prize donated by Makana Brick.
Makana Brick, a R75 million investment project has reached a key milestone at their Grahamstown plant. The German designed Hassler Kiln was lit for the first time on the 30th of October 2007. The lighting of this ever lasting flame marks the start of a revolutionized brick making industry in South Africa.
