OUR MESSAGE TO OUR TEAM

Siyathembana Project Management and Development (PTY) Ltd believes in uplifting people and more especially our own team players. As a result, an internal upliftment program was developed to up-skill and develop our staff who in many cases have come from underprivileged backgrounds or were poorly educated in the past economic climate of South Africa. Our key objective is to give our staff self-esteem, confidence and most importantly skills to enter the workplace outside the Siyathembana Project Management and Development (PTY) Ltd organization should they choose.

These team players have developed skills which can be used to enable them to have a sustainable income wherever they choose, in the future.

Siyathembana Project Management and Development (PTY) Ltd has many success stories of individuals to share with the nation.

Qeda has been with the company since 2009 where he started as a bricklayer. He was  upskilled to a plasterer and then taught how to read floor plans, a skill he learnt quickly, combining that with all the knowledge he had absorbed over the years. He became our stand out all rounder builder. In 2016 Qeda was given a team and a section of Busby House to refurbish and build using Advanced Building Technology (A.B.T) . The company was so impressed with his work ethic and running of his team that when the refurbishment of 42 Sivewright started he was promoted to head builder, an opportunity that he took with open arms. The construction went flawlessly and he has since proven himself many times over as he continues to run the maintenance and construction of all the buildings in Johannesburg CBD as well as other projects that the company runs. Qeda continues to lead from the front and has the full respect of management and his builders as he continues to lead from the front.
