Impala Vleis Brits™ celebrating thirteen years of business and very proud of our achievements.

It all started in 2008 when two brothers Francois & Walter Rossouw purchased a small butchery situated 2km outside of Brits. At the time, the butchery had no more than 8 staff members which included management. Today with over 217 staff members we are still laying everything on the line day after day for our clients and striving to be better.

In 2011 Impala Vleis Brits™ won its first Cleaver Award (Platinum for North West) and was confirmed as the pace setter for the area.

The business today has the same values on which it was founded - being a service driven company and being a place where staff can grow and be part of a great legacy.

Despite a difficult time the past year we are grateful that we are still growing in business.  

We thank our customers for their loyal support over the past decade.
