We are open for business!!
Who would've predicted the chaos the past pandemic would leave in its wake. With travel bans that kept us out of the country for over two years, we had no choice but to change our location. We are happy to announce that our new offices are located at 309 S Broadway Street in the heart of Medina Ohio!
A close knit community with a range of small businesses, great restaurants, a community center and the infamous Medina Town Square within walking distance, literally a few minutes from our office!

Wish I had the right words to explain how we all feel about the heartbreaking news we received this morning. Teboho Radebe, better knows as Tebsa to all of us at KH, has join our Father in heaven, where he will no longer be in pain. Tebsa has been with KH Diesel for more than 20 years and was respected and loved by everyone.
A warm soul with a heart of gold.
His chair in the harness bay will always be empty. We have amazing memories to hold onto!
"There is no more pain Tebsa! You can now take all the leave you want. Until we see each other again!"
Our deepest condolences to the Radebe family, his daughter, friends and everyone who loved him. He will forever be in our hearts, never to be forgotten. Rest In Peace.
In loving memory of Teboho Radebe.

DECEMBER 4TH, 2020 [CHRISTMAS PARTY]
2020 has come down on the world with a huge bang! We are very blessed to say that to date we've had no employees diagnosed with COVID-19. We all managed to stay healthy and we pulled through a horrible lockdown and still managed to provide a great service to our valued and loyal customers.
So from a morbid 2020 to a well deserved Christmas function on Friday December 4th, we can honestly say that it was one of the best! Visit our Facebook page for some photos and videos of the event.
A huge thank you, to each and every KH Diesel employee who worked hard during these uncertain times, who managed to keep their heads up high, and again, showed up to every hurdle and proofed to be one amazingly strong group of people!

COVID-19
Nobody could imagine what huge impact this pandemic would have on the world economy, when countries around the world went into lockdown and had to Shelter-In-Place. South Africa was forced into a mandatory #21daylockdown. This was extended with another two weeks which eventually allowed us to gradually open Essential Business on Level 4. On June 1st, we reached Level 3.
Although most industries are not fully operational as yet, and with some not allowed to be open at all, we at KH Diesel Electrical South Africa are fortunate to be fully operational with key and essential staff, working very hard to pick up where we left off. We have, in an attempt to help fight possible spread of infection, reduced our working hours, have essential staff working shifts, and in return eliminated having too many people around at any given time. This however, will only be until we are able to bring back our full staff compliment, and return to normal.
We want to assure our loyal customers that we still maintain a high standard of work, whilst practicing safety measures as per Government regulation inside our workshop and on site. All employees are screened upon arrival, during the course of the day and before departure. Several sanitizing stations are placed inside our workshop and office area to allow for regular sanitizing. Our field service vehicles have also been equipped with sanitizing kits, masks, and gloves. The wear of masks by all employees, visitors and suppliers are mandatory.
We have appointed two Compliance Officers who diligently monitor health and safety practices during working hours.
Further to screening of our own employees, visitors will also have to comply with regulations before entering our premises. KH Diesel Electrical wish to thank each and every one for their co-operation during this time.
For any queries or questions regarding your safety whilst visiting our premises, please contact Liz on +27 82 904 2707 or Delville on +27 72 879 7468.
Please do not hesitate to contact any of our Technicians or Management outside of the hours indicated, as we are always available for breakdowns and any assistance required.

"24 Years of service, hard work and dedication - Mr. Willie Bezuidenhout (Owner)"
Hard work certainly pays off. A huge congratulations on 24 years of hard work, dedication and support to each and every one at KH Diesel! Since his start at KH in 1995, so much has happened. From late nights working onsite, long hours in sometimes the worse conditions imaginable, and countless hours of standing next to harness manufacturing tables to the proud owner of a successful business. This was definitely a journey, worth every step of the way.
"Your ability to grow the company to where we are today, and the somewhat different route we've taken in terms of product manufacturing, is a magnificent accomplishment and an achievement to be very proud of!", said Liz, Managing Director and wife of Mr. Willie Bezuidenhout. "Words cannot describe how proud I am of you! I've never doubted in your ability to pull off a major project and to watch you tackle each one with such dedication, pride and perfection, is why we have reached the success we have to date."
From everyone at KH Diesel, we would like to say thank you for what you have done for the Company. Your passion is clearly visible.
In times where the economy has left South Africa with some not so favorable conditions, Mr. Willie Bezuidenhout has steered the ship in slightly different directions, to ensure sustainability and growth. A true leader! When change was necessary, he took control, and moved forward, providing all of us the assurance that, it is OK, and it will be for the greater good. Nothing we have achieved, would have been possible without his guidance, trust in an outstanding team, incredible sense of humor and fearless approach toward life.
With only 3 months left of this year, KH Diesel Electrical will be celebrating 25 years of success. All thanks to an amazing team of passionate, hardworking and dedicated individuals who have helped us reach this milestone! Not forgetting our loyal customers and trusted suppliers, we would like to thank them for their support too.
This calls for great celebrations during September 2020!

Petrus and his family will be relocating back from Middelburg, Mpumalanga to Gauteng, to join our KH Family very soon.
