What's Happening in Boksburg, Gauteng…

Did you know that a railway linking Boksburg to Johannesburg was built to in 1890?

Are you among those who question the wisdom behind wearing uniforms? Well, the fact that so many organisations and institutions prefer that their members wear uniforms is proof that there should be some benefits involved.

Here are some reasons why some people prefer uniforms:

• So much mental energy goes into choosing what to wear each morning. You wake up and wonder what the weather will be like. Then you need to mentally prepare the clothing items that will not only keep you comfortable for the weather, but also for the required situation (if you’re meeting a client, for example, you might want to look more formal than if you are going to play action cricket after work). A uniform eliminates a lot of this type of planning while ensuring that you are always presentable, distinguishable and comfortable.


• Depending on the tasks at hand you may be required to wear branded uniforms. Security guards, for example, must have a security company’s name and the word ‘security guard’ on their uniforms. Firefighters require uniforms that are heat and flame resistant.


• In the hospitality industry or other customer service sectors, uniforms help clients to distinguish employees from guests.


• Some companies give uniforms as a perk. It’s also a great way to unify people. With the cost of corporate attire becoming increasingly expensive, many people appreciate the option to wear uniforms to work.
