#TheBLULegacy: The story of a father and hero

Meet Bonginkosi Sithole, a 46-year-old father of four who has dedicated himself to providing
a better life for his family. Bonginkosi’s journey with BLU began in October 2018 when he
started as a Packer, a role he excelled in until May 2022. He currently works as a Stock
Picker, having transitioned from a BLU contract employee to a permanent employee. As a
warehouse stock picker, Bonginkosi’s responsibilities involve accurately selecting and
preparing orders, maintaining inventory accuracy, and ensuring smooth warehouse
operations, all of which require precise attention to detail, effective communication and
strong organisational skills.

During his time with BLU, Bonginkosi was greatly supported by his site manager, who
instilled in him valuable lessons in leadership, diligence and the importance of going the
extra mile. “What I love most about my job is the sense of accomplishment I feel when I
complete tasks accurately and efficiently. It gives me satisfaction knowing that I’m
contributing to the success of the warehouse operations. I take pride in my work and strive to
perform my duties to the best of my ability,” he says. Bonginkosi’s dedication and positive
attitude highlights BLU’s mission to connect high-calibre individuals with opportunities that
match their skills and ambition.

Before joining BLU, Bonginkosi faced employment challenges and often felt undervalued
and underpaid. However, he was inspired by BLU’s commitment to improving our
employees’ lives through increased payments, additional benefits, and better treatment in a
healthy and empowering work environment. “I would definitely recommend BLU to others
looking for employment opportunities. Their commitment to fair treatment, decent wages,
and employee satisfaction sets them apart. I am forever grateful for the positive impact BLU
has had on my life and my family’s lives,” he says.

At BLU, we don’t recruit people to fill positions; we endeavour to create careers, weave
success stories, and ignite passion in the hearts of those seeking their new life. We believe
that work should be a place where talents thrive, aspirations flourish, and dreams are born.
