The Caretakers is part of The Hucryn Afrika Group, founded in 2009.
We operate on a strong foundation of quality, accountability, and hands-on management. Over the years, the group has earned numerous certifications and accreditations across key industries — including sanitation, facilities management, cleaning, construction and project management.
Our direct involvement sets us apart. The owners of each division actively manage daily operations, ensuring clients receive exceptional service from people who care and take full responsibility for every project.
The Caretakers began with one mission: to solve the daily challenges trustees face in sectional title and estate management. Through extensive research in the industry, we identified the issues that cause the most frustration — staff management, labour relations, unreliable fly-by-night contractors, and the exhausting process of sourcing, screening, vetting, paying, and managing ten or more contractors for a single property.
We also saw how often confusion around responsibility slows everything down — when the Body Corporate must step in, when a homeowner is liable, and who needs to act. This uncertainty creates delays, unnecessary costs, and constant frustration.
To eliminate these problems, we provide a complete, all-in-one service that streamlines every operational need in your complex or estate.
Our solution is simple: one contractor, one pay point, one line of communication.
That’s The Caretakers difference.
The Hucryn Afrika Group and all its subsidiaries are fully compliant with SHEQ regulations across Southern Africa. We prioritise safety, preparedness, and responsible operations on every site we manage.
We ensure all our staff are equipped with the correct training and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect them from any incidents or hazards that may arise on-site.
Each site undergoes a full assessment, and a detailed risk report is compiled to identify and address any irregular risks before work begins.
In line with evolving safety requirements, we have adopted stricter hygiene measures. This includes providing face masks, latex gloves, and disinfecting soap for all employees, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We hold an essential services permit, enabling us to continue work on selected client sites during critical periods. With nearly 300 employees, we maintain strict safety protocols to ensure the wellbeing of both our staff and our clients.
The Caretakers partner directly with a network of specialised contractors to deliver seamless, high-quality service across every area of property care. Our strategy follows a simple principle: one line of communication and full accountability.
We work closely with trusted industry professionals and personally appoint, manage, and supervise every specialised service your property needs. This includes engineers, roofing teams, building and painting contractors, security providers, and lawn-care specialists — all coordinated through one streamlined system.
This approach lets us manage every aspect of your property efficiently and consistently, with complete oversight. You get one dependable partner who takes full responsibility for all your operational needs.
We manage all specialised contractors on your behalf.
Simple, clear communication through a single channel.
All contractors are vetted, compliant, and supervised.
Specialised services handled under one accountable system.
At The Caretakers, sustainability is more than a promise — it’s part of our daily operations. Over the years, we’ve developed an environmentally responsible system that uses specially formulated bio-degradable chemicals and eco-friendly cleaning solutions for walkways, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
All the products we use are proudly South African–made and chosen for their minimal to zero impact on the environment. Our garden service sites are treated with 100% weed-free compost annually, ensuring healthy soil, strong plant growth, and long-term sustainability.
We are committed to maintaining beautiful, functional outdoor spaces while actively reducing our ecological footprint.
