PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS THAT BURNT DOWN, WE ARE CALLING ON SOLIDARITY FOR OTHERS AFFECTED, KNOWING WHAT FIRST-HAND WHAT IT'S LIKE.
Over the New Year weekend, while many were celebrating new beginnings, a devastating fire swept through our community, forever changing the landscape of our workplace.
Anthony Anti-Corrosion Coatings stands heavy-hearted but resolute alongside our fellow businesses, UrbanSky Signs & Graphics, DTF Cape Town, and the 22 other local businesses who have tragically lost their base of operations. These aren't just storefronts or factories; they are the livelihoods, dreams, and hard work of our friends and colleagues.
The road to recovery is long, but it doesn't have to be walked alone. We are asking our clients, partners, and the broader community to stand with us.
• Support Local: If you’ve worked with any of these businesses before, reach out. Even a message of encouragement means the world right now.
• Lend a Hand: Whether it’s sharing their stories, offering temporary space, or assisting with equipment and resources, every bit of help accelerates the journey back to "business as usual."
• Stay Connected: Keep an eye on social media updates for specific ways to contribute to the recovery efforts of the affected shops.
Fire may have taken the physical structures, but it cannot take the spirit of this business community. Let 2026 be defined not by this loss, but by the incredible resilience and unity we show in response to it.
We have the most amazing customers and following, Let us band together, the Anthony way and:
Together, we will rebuild. Together, we will move forward. Together, we are stronger.
