Amazing things are being built in South Africa. The vision of the country’s entrepreneurs is surely world leading?

From manufacturing, through to construction, and everything between, the country’s businesses imagine, make, create, and build truly world class products that are perfectly suited to their environment.

This month, we talk to CADCON, an industry leading steel and engineering organisation. By utilising deep knowledge developed over decades in the industry, the company is participating in major projects that are breaking world records in terms of steel construction. Managing Director, Paul Rebelo explains more about major projects underway right now.

At LESCO Manufacturing, electrical hardware is now manufactured by a workforce that was previously excluded thanks to true innovation around the production process. Director, Jonathan Shapiro tells us that the company’s products are fighting off import competition from the East thanks to a brilliant focus on quality.

MAN Energy Solutions has rebranded and refocussed to become a leader in the energy efficiency space, creating products that assist in greenhouse gas emission abatement. Managing Director Chris Meyer tells us that investment into the company’s Vanderbijlpark site has helped the company boom as it creates important infrastructure for the future of Africa.

And Intaprop, leading property development and investment business, is creating on a major scale – driving the Oxford Parks development which will see green-star rated buildings and public space connect Rosebank to Illovo, creating a better Gauteng for future generations.

So much creation is happening, and so much imagination continues to flow from innovators.
