Founded in February 2018, Jekesa Electrical Hardware Store and Showroom, has opened a new and spacious showroom in Eastlea, Harare. The wholly-owned Zimbabwean company, operating within the construction industry sector is making a bold statement of its intentions to lead in the sourcing and supplying of electrical goods. The company also does consultancy in wiring and lighting, as well as providing renewable energy solutions such as solar power.

The showroom has pride of place at 4 Donald McDonald Drive, Eastlea, Harare. From here, it delivers a warm and friendly service to a clientele that values quality products.

“We moved into the new showroom on 13 April 2023. This step was beyond being just strategic; it was overdue as the business had outgrown our original space and we needed to move clients to a more luxurious space. There was also the inevitable need to reduce expenses, and make the business more sustainable,” said Mrs Charuma, the founder of Jekesa Electrical Hardware Store and Showroom.

The showroom is a former house that used to accommodate the founder’s family for the past 15 years. At over 280 square metres, it occupies an existing building that was spruced up with minor renovations. The showroom has rooms that enable clients to visualise lighting solutions.

The vision of the company is: To become the preferred supplier of high-quality lighting, electrical, and construction hardware solutions as well as create exquisite interior and exterior spaces. This foresight is evident in the over 860 lines of products available. Products categories include bathroom lighting, chandeliers, crystal lights, exterior lights, LED lights, garden lights, and wall lights. Extending this range are down lights, rope and strip lights, panel lights, ceiling lights, track lights, extractor fans, inground lights, bulbs, solar lights, and more.

The company represents some of the more reliable international brands including Radiant, Fumagali, Casaluce, and Bright Star, sourced from markets as diverse as South Africa, Turkey, Italy, and China.

Registered with the Construction Industry Federation of Zimbabwe (CIFOZ), they have been catering to the domestic market (individuals and corporates) with outstanding service and feedback.

Charuma notes that clients walking into the showroom should expect to experience a refreshing and helpful service by knowledgeable staff.

“Our products are of good quality, and our pricing is reasonable. We are also helpful and will tailor make our service to meet or surpass customers’ expectations,” said Charuma when asked why customers should patronise Jekesa Electrical Hardware Store and Showroom.

In the next 5 to 10 years the company expects to have more branches and additional products so that it can be closer to customers throughout the country.
