The Founder
Stedman Gans brought the same discipline and heart from the rugby field to the roastery. A former Springbok, he built Social Bean on the values of humility, hard work, and high performance.
BEE Level 1 Certified
Social Bean is proudly 100% Black-owned and BEE Level 1 certified — not as a badge, but as a commitment to transformation and economic empowerment in every cup we serve.
Employee Empowerment
Our team members don't just work here — they own their futures. Through our empowerment program, we place coffee trailers in the hands of our people, turning employees into entrepreneurs.
