The company was founded by Pieter Coetzer, supported by his partner Jonas Khelerwa, who is the majority shareholder with 54% share, whilst Pieter owns the remainder of the equity in the company.
Jonas started his working career in the mining industry as a miner for 9 years and after gaining extensive experience; his drive for self development joined EMC Petcon as site foreman inside the SASOL Plant and surrounding Coal Mines. He gained 15 years of experience in earthmoving, mass excavation and road building.
This has laved a foundation for his entrepreneurship drive and joined Pieter at Jabula Plant Hire. With first hand experience in earthmoving and logistics, it was easy for Jonas and Pieter to build a business to the stature that it holds today and whilst they personally developed into experienced earthmovers and logisticians, they are still as humble as the day they started and are still involved right there, where the tyre meets the tar.
Pieter has from his first day in his career showed entrepreneurship by establishing his own company, Grootvlei Scrap Metals. They managed scrap metal contracts with five Eskom Power Stations. He subsequently owned two Engen forecourts, which received several rewards. With his entrepreneurship he established Jabula Construction, which subsequently evolved into Jabula Plant Hire.
The home of Jabula Plant Hire was chosen to be in close proximity to
some of our major
clients and specifically with the view to reducing unnecessary cost. Our
transport offices,
vehicle yard and truck wash facility are situated at Rietspruit, Ogies and
Bethal in
Mpumalanga.
On the other hand we have established a mobile earthmoving division that
locates itself near construction sites such as Goedgevonden and DMO. All of our
operations
are managed from our Head Office situated at Grootvlei. Through the employment
of
Logisticians and experienced miners, we have further expanded our service
footprint and are
now able to provide clients with additional services in more places in the country.
Our business was built on the following strengths:
Owner commitment
Faith and excitement in the
future of the country
Our thorough understanding
of the detail of earthmoving and logistics
The sound relationship
between management and our operator corps
Specialising
in particular sectors of transportation and earthmoving
