Constructo Civil Construction and Mining Services was founded in 2017 by Thomas Ngake (Mining Engineer) and Lesego Tsotetsi (Chemical Engineer). The company’s very foundation is a testament to the tenacity of its founders, demonstrating the relentless spirit that continues to drive Constructo today
Our journey into the mining sector began with a major contract for coal stockpiling and material handling at a large coal mine near Lephalale. Through resilience and determination, we steadily expanded our business, investing in key resources and strengthening our operational capacity. By 2022, our fleet had grown significantly, reflecting our ongoing commitment and ambitious plans to expand beyond South Africa’s borders.
To contribute to Africa’s development through responsible mining services and to uplift lives through disciplined delivery.
