Engineering, people and sustainability
GladAfrica continues to grow from strength to strength as an organisation with a firm foundation, consistently upholding what we stand for: engineering, people and sustainability. We remain steadfast in our commitment to being the partner of choice in creating life-changing, built- environment solutions and delivering engineering excellence in everything we do.
Throughout our relatively brief history, we pride ourselves not on the number or monetary value of our assignments, but on the strategic relevance and importance of our assignments, as well as on the impact and sustainability of what we deliver.
I am proud to chair a Board of Directors of knowledgeable professionals. GladAfrica’s board oversees policy formulation and strategy development for the group and ensures delivery of all assignments. We do this with confidence because we are proud of and passionate about what we do.
As a proudly South African company, GladAfrica is cognisant of the critical need to stimulate economic growth without jeopardising our environmental sustainability. In helping to meet the challenges faced in urban and rural built environments, we draw on constructive partnerships, shareholder support and the proficiency of our people.
The achievements of GladAfrica’s professional core, the dedication of our management team and the operational quality of our support teams, as well as collaboration with our partners, will continue to add value to our clients, benefit our shareholders and affirm our leading role in the market

As a wholly black-owned, proudly South African company, we combine our own range of knowledge, skills and expertise with those of our partners to optimise resources and maximise our impact in the best interest of our clients and the broader context of South Africa’s socio-economic environment.
We believe that our values underpin our business success, providing a sustainable foundation for growth. Our values permeate all aspects of our activities and are reflected in a business culture that promotes quality of life, delivers sustainable social and environmental management, honours all contractual obligations, and fosters loyalty among our employees, partners, clients and shareholders. Corporate governance remains a dynamic issue that requires ongoing implementation and must be embedded in an organisation’s culture. At GladAfrica, we recognise that as we grow and evolve, our corporate governance practices need to develop as well.
GladAfrica is committed to interacting constructively with its stakeholders to remain socially relevant. This is critical to sustaining the group’s success. The group’s stakeholder management approach involves the optimal application of the organisation’s resources to build and maintain good relationships with its stakeholders. This helps the group to understand the expectations of society, minimise reputational risk and form strong partnerships, all of which underpin the sustainability of our business.

Taking cognisance of our desire to improve our corporate governance practices, a board restructuring process was undertaken in 2014. The board also makes use of the expertise and knowledge of external and internal invitees, resulting in eight board-meeting participants in total. In addition, a legally qualified company secretary has been appointed to oversee and offer advice to the group.
