NEW CHALLENGE

construction places new responsibility

AfriSam’s Thank Tank:
at the Totally Concrete
Expo held in May, AfriSam
ran a campaign where
attendees were asked to
pay tribute to the many
builders whose efforts
and craftsmanship make
a tangible difference in
so many people’s lives.
Attendees submitted
messages as an ‘ode to the
builder’ to AfriSam, and
these were replicated as
graffiti on one of AfriSam’s
Readymix trucks.
