Led by Sibusiso Mthembu
Sibusiso Mthembu founded Jameson Tools in 2008 with a clear aim: give South African workshops a supplier that understands real trade conditions. As Managing Director, he keeps the focus on dependable tools, sensible pricing and advice that helps customers buy once and buy well. He is often involved when a customer is setting up a new workshop in Pinetown, Westmead or Hillcrest and needs a proper plan rather than guesswork.
He works closely with the team on trade account support, starter kit bundling and workshop setup advice, and he keeps a close eye on how orders move from quotation to delivery. His approach is direct and practical, with enough flexibility for the small contractor and enough structure for larger teams.

- Trade account support and order control
- Advice shaped by local jobsite conditions
Operations that keep orders moving
Anele Dlamini manages day to day operations and keeps stock flow, packing and courier coordination moving across the Durban area and beyond. She is the person who makes sure the right items are picked, checked and sent without avoidable delays, which matters when a workshop is waiting on a replacement kit or consumables before Monday morning. Coastal humidity, tight deadlines and supplier lead times all sit on her radar.
Her work links the Pinetown base with customers in New Germany, Durban North and Umhlanga, and she keeps communication clear when stock needs to be replenished or a delivery needs a second look. The goal is simple, fewer surprises and better control of what goes out the door.
- Courier delivery coordination nationwide
- Consumables replenishment and stock follow-up
- Order checking for trade and DIY customers
Technical advice from Ruan Naidoo
Ruan Naidoo leads technical sales and spends much of his time matching the right tool to the actual job. That includes replacement matching for worn items, accessory selection for power tools and helping customers choose starter kit contents that suit their work, not just a list on a page. He understands the value of getting the spec right the first time, especially when a team is working under pressure and can not afford mismatched equipment.
Ruan also helps customers compare options for workshop use in humid coastal areas and in busy inland jobsites where dust, transport and daily wear take a toll. His guidance is detailed without being complicated, and he is known for giving clear options with honest trade-offs.
- Tool replacement matching
- Power-tool accessory guidance
- Starter kit bundling for new workshops
Training that sticks with the team
Zanele Khumalo coordinates training resources and on-site tool inductions for customers who want more than a supply-only service. She works with teams that need to standardise stock lists, improve handling and get newer staff up to speed without slowing production. Her focus is practical training that helps people use tools correctly, keep them in better condition and reduce waste.
In workshops around Pinetown and surrounding industrial areas, she often helps supervisors plan seasonal workshop refreshes and basic inductions for new hires. The result is a team that knows what is in the kit and how to use it properly, which saves time and money over the long run.
Her support often includes simple checklists, refresher guidance and follow-up on how the tools are being used on site. It is work that pays off in fewer breakdowns and less confusion.
Workshop planning with Matthew Petersen
Matthew Petersen manages workshop solutions and is the person customers call when they need a proper setup plan. He looks at workflow, storage, tool access and the likely wear on items before suggesting a bundle or refresh. For a business opening a new space in Westmead or upgrading a small unit in Hillcrest, that advice can save both time and wasted spend.
He also supports stock list standardising, which helps larger teams keep purchasing simple and consistent. Matthew prefers practical layouts, clear categories and kit contents that make sense for the kind of work being done day after day.

Support that answers quickly
Nokuthula Ndlovu leads customer support and is usually the first point of contact for questions about orders, delivery timing and product availability. She works with customers across Durban, from Pinetown to Durban North, and keeps communication steady when a job is waiting on a part or when a trade account needs a quick update. Her style is calm, helpful and direct.
She also keeps an eye on the small details that matter, like confirming order notes, helping customers check what should be in a starter bundle and making sure courier instructions are clear. That steady follow-through makes it easier for customers to plan their work without chasing answers all day.
Whether the order is a single replacement item or a full workshop pack, Nokuthula helps make the process straightforward. It is the kind of support that saves time when the pressure is on and the phone is already ringing.
