Befittingly Bongani Mahlangu, our EP Exec project’s manager qualified as a Civil Engineering Technician at TUT. He is also a member of South African Institute of Civil Engineers (SAICE) and Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) registered as a candidate.
Bongani has over 18 years’ experience spanning various industries, including civil engineering, stakeholder management, empowerment and employment.
In 2006, Bongani was first employed by Khonza Izwe Consulting, a sister company to Magabholi General Trading. Most recently, in 2022 he joined our team at EmpowerPloy, now known as EP Exec.
As a civil engineer, between 2006 and 2021, Bongani was involved in a diversity of large scale projects. From the building of hospitals and schools; upgrading and paving roads; construction of bus and taxi routes; water reticulation, borehole and storm water management; plumbing and repairing sinkholes all the way through to planning, designing and tender processes too.
His extensive knowledge and firsthand experience, particularly in the construction sector brings substantial value to EP Exec. Especially since our primary involvement as stakeholder engagement specialists began whilst working closely with mall and shopping center property developers.
Bongani also possesses strong knowledge of drafting and design software programs, compliance, communications, development of emerging contractors, activity monitoring, analytical skills, report writing and strategy. All of which makes him a great credit to the EP Exec team, and our forward projections as a company.
Aside from work, his hobbies and sports activities have included karate, basketball, soccer, singing, and he recently started playing golf. In 1994, as a soccer player he represented Mdutjana Regional circuit in Malelane. And, in 1999 as a basketball player he represented Technikon Northern Gauteng, currently known as Tshwane University of Technology.
Tragically, his worst life experiences were the loss of his father, and older brother. However, his best life experience was getting married to his beautiful wife. Together they have three boys.
His aspirations and dreams are to run a consultation and construction firm in the civil engineering sector one day. Until then, EP Exec is pleased to have Bongani as a core team member. We appreciate his across-the-board experience, which is helping us create a firm foundation and greater footprint as we assist local businesses to find job seekers, and visa versa.
