Management & Organisation
The organisational structure, the key roles and required competencies, recruitment and human capital, corporate governance and the advisors and professional support underpinning KwaCrete.
KwaCrete will be led by an experienced management team combining
ready-mix or construction-materials operating expertise, commercial
leadership and financial discipline. The organisation is intentionally
lean, with clear accountability and a flat structure appropriate to a
single-plant operation. As the named individuals are finalised through
the funding process, this section describes the roles, the required
competencies and the governance framework that protects investor
interests.
8.1 Organisational Structure
The Company is organised into four functional areas — commercial,
operations, finance and quality/SHE — each reporting to the Managing
Director, who is in turn accountable to the board. Total headcount
scales with volume but is held lean; the Company employs a core fixed
team supplemented by drivers and plant operators as throughput
grows.
| Function | Lead role | Core responsibilities | Indicative FY2026 headcount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executive | Managing Director | Strategy, board, key accounts, funding | 1 |
| Commercial | Sales & Marketing Manager | Pipeline, pricing, tenders, customers | 3 |
| Operations | Plant & Logistics Manager | Batching, dispatch, fleet, maintenance | 12 |
| Finance | Financial Manager | Accounting, credit control, reporting | 3 |
| Quality & SHE | Quality / SHE Officer | Lab, certification, safety, environment | 2 |

staffing.
8.2 Key Roles & Required Competencies
- Managing Director. Proven leadership in
construction materials or ready-mix; commercial acumen; responsible for
strategy, the largest customer relationships and board
reporting. - Plant & Logistics Manager. Hands-on
batching-plant and fleet experience; owns production, dispatch,
maintenance and on-time delivery performance. - Sales & Marketing Manager. Established
contractor relationships and a track record of building order books in
building materials. - Financial Manager. Qualified accountant with
strong credit-control discipline; owns the integrity of reporting to
funders and the board. - Quality / SHE Officer. Concrete technology and
SANS certification expertise; accountable for laboratory, safety and
environmental compliance.
8.3 Recruitment & Human Capital
Skilled batching-plant operators, qualified drivers and concrete
technologists are in demand in South Africa, where employers
increasingly report difficulty sourcing technical skills. KwaCrete’s
human-capital plan combines selective recruitment of experienced
supervisors with structured training of operators and drivers, supported
by a learnership programme that strengthens both the skills pipeline and
the Company’s B-BBEE and skills-development scorecard. Competitive,
performance-linked remuneration is built into the financial model, with
the salary line growing from R6.2m in FY2026 to R8.3m by FY2030.
8.4 Corporate Governance
Robust governance is central to the investment proposition. The
Company will establish a board with investor representation and, in
time, independent non-executive directors. Governance arrangements will
align with the principles of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance,
appropriately scaled to the size of the business.
- Board oversight of strategy, budgets, major
capital decisions and risk, meeting at least quarterly. - Investor information rights including monthly
management accounts and covenant-compliance reporting. - Delegation of authority with defined approval
thresholds for expenditure and credit. - Audit & financial controls including annual
audited financial statements and segregation of duties. - Risk management via a maintained risk register
reviewed by the board (see Section 10).
8.5 Advisors & Professional Support
The Company will engage established professional advisors — auditors,
attorneys, an insurance broker and a concrete-technology consultant — to
supplement internal capability during establishment and to provide
independent assurance to funders. The cost of these services is provided
for within administrative expenses in the financial model.
