Midek Paints

Paint stores exist in every suburb because painting is constant work—landlords repainting rental units between tenants, contractors working new builds and renovations, homeowners refreshing tired rooms. Midek Paints serves Soweto's painting needs, which run across economic circumstances and project scales. A small spaza shop owner repainting interior walls, a contractor managing multiple residential projects, a municipality subcontractor working on public housing—all need reliable stock. The store's role extends beyond transactions: it stocks product that's available when needed, at price points that make sense for different budgets, and supports the practical work that keeps neighbourhoods maintained. Paint stores anchor the informal and formal economies of maintenance and improvement.
