The business
Thesele Group was established in December 2004 as a majority black-owned and managed skills-based black empowerment company. Our core focus is identifying, investing in, adding value to and unlocking value from quality investments. We are committed to adding explicit strategic value to our investment partners. We enjoy excellent relationships and an ongoing working partnership with all of our existing partners.

Honour
We are uncompromising on integrity, and have the courage, strength and resilience to stand our ground to maintain this key value. Our integrity begins with our mission to create worth and our belief that it is produced through hands-on hard work and wisdom. In this way we honour ourselves, our partners and our society.

To date, we have been active in the following areas:
Strategy
Business development and client growth
Capital and risk management
Business transformation.
We engage with our investment partners at all levels and provide our partners with an effective and fresh view to positively benefit the company and the shareholders. Our active involvement aims for the creation of value-add at a strategic level and at an operational level where appropriate. Thesele has developed strong and deep relationships with key decision-makers and influencers in the public and private sector. These networks are invaluable to our partners in enhancing existing business relationships and developing new business opportunities.
Although we have big ideals, we strive for accomplishment, through pragmatic delivery of results.
