Today, Gaffane owns and runs Danchi Group, a steel manufacturing business that employs 13 people in Tshwane.

In 2017, Danchi approached the Gauteng Enterprise Propeller to get assistance with starting her steel manufacturing business.The GEP is an organisation that falls under the provincial department of economic development.The GEP helps small businesses to register their business, and provides business advice and financial and non-financial support.

After receiving assistance from the GEP, Gaffane was able to establish relationships with industry steel giants such as Komatsu, Timken, Aveng Trident Steel and Kaefer, and grow her company. The company also restores steel components for its clients. Gaffane says what makes her business a success is her passion and appreciation for artisans in this sector.

“My father was an artisan and I saw first-hand how underappreciated he was, even though his work was so pivotal. Today, my father is part of our team here at Danchi.” Gaffane says the steel sector has had its own challenges, such as low sales and struggling to make a profit. “The GEP came on board once more by providing funding for working capital. We invested the funding in equipment,” she says. For more information about the GEP, visit:
