Kip McGrath Education Centres (South Africa)
Fifteen years ago, partners (Brian and Retha Sleigh) imported the Kip McGrath Education Centre concept to South Africa. Based in Durban, the expansion originally took place in KwaZulu Natal.
The Pilot Centre opened in Amanzimtoti in February 1996. In South Africa, the average growth has been at six centres per annum, with the nationwide network at seventy centres. These are concentrated in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, mostly in urban areas.
Over the years the franchise has expanded to encompass all the major centres of the country. More than half of the KMEC centres are now found in Gauteng, but it is well represented throughout the country.
