Our Story

Ghalwah Convenience Foods

Narriman Sakier Joseph produced a tasty par baked rooti in the early 1990s after being inspired by her father. The idea was to produce a household product that was convenient, tasty and fulfilling.

After trading in the informal sector for almost two decades with Salomies at a vibrant market place in Mitchells Plain, Narriman and her sister started Ghalwah Convenience Foods in 2007.

Currently, the business leases a premises which is well-secured with 24 hour surveillance and also conforms with GMP health standards at the Philippi Fresh Produce Market.

Narriman’s four children has subsequently inherited the business and has a staff contingency of around 50 employees, as her intention was to create jobs for the community.

Ghalwah products can be found in over 200 outlets around town in selected Spar’s, Visfabriek’s, Supermarkets and Butcheries.
