Pork abattoir supplying all of South Africa
Meatmasters Group is a South African meat business established in Vryheid, KwaZulu-Natal, in 1995. Our abattoir, 13 km outside Vryheid on the R69 towards Louwsburg, has been slaughtering since 1998 and is registered with the Department of Veterinary Public Health (registration 5/54) as a high-throughput red meat abattoir. Pork is our main product, and we also slaughter cattle and sheep.
We own every step of the chain: farming and sourcing, slaughter, grading, deboning in our primal plant, curing and smoking, butchery supplies and retail. Most of the pigs we slaughter come from partner farms in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, many of them shareholders. Each carcass is tracked with a barcoded system, so it can be traced from farm to buyer.
