If youโve lived in Graaff-Reinet for any length of time, chances are youโve walked through the doors of Xipe Totec Technologies (XTT Graaff-Reinet) at some point – perhaps to stock up on school stationery or even (for those who remember!) buy a stack of blank CDs back in the day.
What many people may not realise is that this trusted local business is celebrating a remarkable milestone this year: ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ-๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐.
Union High Schoolย is delighted to continue our ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ข๐ series by recognising the generous support of XTT – a business that, much like our own schools, has grown and adapted alongside the community it serves.
Founded a quarter of a century ago, XTT has witnessed enormous changes in both technology and retail. From the days when thousands of blank CDs flew off the shelves to the modern digital world we live in today, the business has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of its customers. Throughout it all, one thing has remained constant: ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ-๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐.
Stationery has always been at the heart of the business, making XTT a familiar stop for countless Union learners and families over the years. More recently, the store has expanded its offering to include a range of premium cleaning chemicals suitable for homes, businesses, and schools – another example of how the team continues to innovate and respond to the needs of the community.

Through their pledge, XTT is supporting Clean Trade, a registered Public Benefit Organisation founded by Graaff-Reinet locals Elaine Stanley and Tia-Mari Jacobs. Clean Trade is doing important work in our town by tackling environmental pollution while also helping to address hunger – a powerful reminder that community upliftment can take many forms.
