Oupa Rhayi
According to Leonardo da Vinci, "Water is the driving force of all nature." We tend to agree, but that water has to get to where it's needed first! Oupa Rhayi, owner of Divestec Mining, has just added this second VX2628 LWB 16,000 liter dual-purpose water tanker to his current fleet of 4 Powerstars.
These trucks are working all over, such as Glencore Mines in Ogies, Mpumalanga.
Aventino Group
Sales Manager, Marc Mynhardt, proudly handed over a VX2628B 6m3 Mixer to Aventino Group in Polokwane recently, to deliver concrete within the surrounding areas.
This is their second Powerstar, now joining a VX2642 they purchased last year to pull a flat deck trailer with a crane fitted for transporting bricks. They are excited to be partnered up with Powerstar again and in the future.
Paul & Mike Zimu
"He ain't heavy, he's my brother" takes on a whole new meaning as brothers Paul and Mike Zimu of Dreads Construction add yet another VX4035 Tipper to their growing Powerstar family.
They both value Powerstar's good reputation with other owners, the affordability and the brand's commitment to go the extra mile.
Unyazi Transport Coastal
Unyazi Transport Coastal, a subsidiary Group of MSC, have just added 20 x Powerstar VX 2642 Truck Tractors to their fleet.
Although they own other brands, they chose the Powerstar range for their reliability for medium and short haul operations.
Pooballa Naidoo
CPMS a construction company based in Ballito, is focused on project management and urban planning. After considering similar brands and sizes in its category, Sales Executive, Powerstar Empangeni, Lukas Meyer, placed a FT3 demo vehicle in their fleet. Within a few days of testing, CPMS owner Pooballa Naidoo decided the Powerstar FT3 was without a doubt the best vehicle for their company's needs. "The size of the truck was perfect fit as it is not too big to get into the restricted urban developments and the payload big enough to transport enough materials at a time." says Pooballa.
"Add to that the price and combination of the Cummins Engine, ZF Gearbox, Wabco Air Brake system and all the extras such as Aircon, Cruise Control & Radio there was no better option."
Ogies Palour
Huge smiles from Irvin Mabe (Powerstar sales executive) with the Mabena's of Ogies Palour. No strangers to the value and reliability of the Powerstar range, Managing Directors, Sibongile Agnes Mabena and Desmond Mabena of Ogies Palour, have just added another VX 2642 Truck Tractor with Side Tippers to their coal carrying fleet in the mines. Already owning a VX 2628 10m3 Tipper and VX 2642 with Side Tipper, Desmond Mabena has this to say "Powerstar is our first and best choice of truck for our business. Irvin has given us fantastic customer service. We are now planning to add another 2 x VX 2642's with Side Tippers to our fleet before the end of the year.
Powerstar is affordable and well recommended by other owners in the field. Our VX 2628 10m3 Tipper moves more loads than the other brands, with less issues, easy on-site maintenance and affordable parts and services. Powerstar, we will be back!" concludes Sibongile Mabena.
Kamo Trading
It was a confident move by owner, Floyd Nakeng of Kamo Trading to add 5 x VX 2642 Truck Tractors for Side Tipper Application to their fleet to move chrome at Rustenburg Mines.
These machines are so up for the job that they have already ordered yet another 5 x VX 2642's to be delivered soon!
Tiebong Engineering and Projects
Titos Bongani Maphanga and his wife of Tiebong Engineering and Projects were only too thrilled to accept the handover of their brand new Powerstar VX 2628 10m3 Tipper from salesman, Irvin Mabe. They have already requested a quote for an additional Powerstar VX 2628 10m3 Tipper as their business continues to grow.
These trucks will be used for coal transportation from the mines and to power stations around Ogies, Mpumalanga.
"We believe that Powerstar is a great truck and good value for money. We needed a truck that could sustain us when it comes to the line of work that we do on these mines and being a manual vehicle, downtime will be less which means more work done and more money saved. This is the perfect brand for our business. Powerstar is the way." concludes Titos.
Purple Rain Game Breeding
Proving that Powerstar trucks can handle Africa's harshest conditions, Colin George Lombard of Purple Rain Game Breeding has just taken ownership of his new Powerstar VX 2628 10m3 Tipper, seen here with sales executive Bradley van Onslen. His plan is to use the truck for removal of rubble and debris when clearing new areas of bush and road on the farm that breeds and rehabilitates game for non-hunting reserves in SA.
"Quality of service and price of vehicle. The tough and ready ability of Powerstar Trucks, along with the sales team and support, gave us the peace of mind that we wanted when making the decision to purchase", says Colin on his reasons for choosing Powerstar.
TCB Engineering
TCB Engineering was established in 2013 by Bertram Soloma, Jeffrey Morolong and Gadijah Morolong. Since then, they have been distributing coal and various construction materials throughout the mines within Kimberley. They were recently introduced to the Powerstar range by a friend, tested the vehicle and decided that the Powerstar products, suits their needs best. "Due to us working on the mines, we cannot afford to have downtime, as time is money. We then looked for a product in the market that was cost effective, reliable and could be easily repaired when it came to breakdowns", says Bertram Soloma.
"We then went out to the market and started doing our comparisons and met Irvin Mabe, who sold us our first Powerstar VX 2628 Water Tanker. We are very happy with our purchase and looking forward to our future partnership with Powerstar", added Jeffrey Morolong.
UKT Aggregate

"Great service and great truck. Who better to partner with than the leaders in the tipper range."

“The reason we acquired the V3’s initially was down to the excellent coverage Ever Star Industries (ESI) has in Southern Africa,” explains the company’s director, Craig Trickett.
“ESI has the necessary service centres and dealer network in the three countries in which we operate - Botswana, Eswatini and Zambia - and they are able to support our cross-border business. This fact convinced us to go ahead with the transactions,” he continues.
