MOTHEO CONSTRUCTION GROUP | PROFILE
Looking at the next five years, we can easily double our current turnover. We have bedded down the foundation. It is easy to say you want to grow, but are you prepared for that growth? I think we used 2020, which was a quiet year, to position ourselves for this future growth. Yes, it is an exciting time. As much as Covid-19 has had a negative impact on the construction industry, we remain positive and on the lookout for opportunities.” Q. HOW DO THE COMPANY’S CSI PROJECTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE BUSINESS AS A WHOLE? The importance of being of service to others and of sharing your gifts and talents with those who have less than you is a building block of the Motheo culture. It is from this place that we operate when making decisions about the CSI projects that we want to participate in. At the centre of that is the desire to serve people. Motheo has recently donated a multi-purpose court to Mpilisweni Secondary School in Katlehong and will continue to support schools, the aged and vulnerable communities in the areas we operate. Q. DESCRIBE THE BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY THE COMPANY PRIDES ITSELF ON. In our 24 years of existence, Motheo has intentionally empowered young African graduates with a special focus to African women within the construction sector. We pride ourselves as the leading agent of change within the construction sector. Motheo seeks to be a role model of how a black female-owned and managed business can remain sustainable in the South African landscape. We want to remain an aggressive proponent of diversity, in terms of gender and race, as we meet the daily challenge of seeking to thrive in a continually changing environment.
