The Butcher’s Market was founded by businessman and entrepreneur, Abbas Sonday, in 2015. Raised and trained in a butcher environment by his dad, Mohammed Shafie Sonday, since the late 80’s, he is armed with the knowledge of over 30 years of production and retail experience, and he identified a gap in the market for fully halal butcheries that have a strong emphasis on quality, affordability and impeccable service, in ALL communities – and that’s how the TBM (The Butchers Market) brand was born – with a vision to supply only the best, to everyone!

In 2021 a state of the art Distribution Centre and production facility was established as a central supply hub and head office.
With plans to expand our geographical footprint in future, our Distribution Centre aims to expand accordingly into an established producer within the industry.
Supplying 300 tons of lamb, beef and chicken a month to our 7 retail stores as well as restaurants and food services. Our accreditation allows us full traceability from the farm to the fork.
With a track record of supplying large businesses and organizations, our expertise is evident.

1. Farmers: Our livestock gets sourced from ISO & ZA approved facilities, which secures that all our meet is fully halaal & sustainably raised- while simultaneously upskilling emerging black farmers across SA.

3. Our stores: Offering disadvantaged communities, high end quality, services & products.
