The story
HomeBake: a Krugersdorp story since 1983
Mr and Mrs Botha founded HomeBake as a small home-based bakery in 1983. The family business grew around handmade cakes, pastries, pies, biscuits and confectionery.
HomeBake now serves the Krugersdorp community through several branches and a wholesale operation, while remaining family-run and rooted in its original emphasis on traditional baking and quality ingredients.
Founded in a family kitchen by Mr and Mrs Botha, HomeBake has grown into a multi-branch Krugersdorp bakery while keeping its handmade tradition. Its continuing presence forms part of the wider story of how Krugersdorp's churches, schools, workshops and family businesses adapted as the town changed around them.
No. HomeBake began in the founders' family kitchen. This detail matters because a long-running organisation may preserve its name and community role even when its buildings, ownership structure or services evolve.
