Alberton: the work, the weather and the print shops
Factories on one side, family suburbs on the other: Alberton's print work is split down the middle. Alrode is one of the larger manufacturing areas in the south of Gauteng, and its plants order roll labels, carton stickers, safety signs, embroidered overalls and branded vehicles. Across the town, Brackenhurst, Brackendowns, Randhart and the estates of Meyersdal are full of schools and congregations that order newsletters, bazaar flyers, wedding invitations and sports kit. Thokoza and Katlehong add steady funeral, church and taxi rank print. Print shops sit around New Redruth and the main shopping centre, while sign makers and screen printers work from Alrode and the smaller industrial stands. Summer hail and Highveld sun are hard on outdoor signs.
