Ouma Rusks

[3] The brand currently dominates the relatively-small local rusk market, and is manufactured in the same town it was first produced.[4] In an effort to reduce the negative impact of the Great Depression, the town's pastor offered each female member of his congregation money to start local businesses and increase their family income.[8][9] In 1941,[10] the fledgling governmental Industrial Development Corporation (South Africa) gave its first start-up loan to Ouma Rusks for £1,500.[12] Ouma became part of Fedfood in the 1970s, and since 1992 has been owned by Foodcorp (South Africa).[13] As of 2012, Foodcorp still maintains an Ouma Rusks factory in the town of Molteno employing 250 people.
