Building a transformed South African economy through strategic partnerships.
From the Gautrain to the built environment, Strategic Partners Group is the broad-based empowerment partner behind some of the country's most consequential infrastructure.
To be the pre-eminent South African based diversified investment group — building shareholder value through integrity, world-class professionalism, Ubuntu, and a sensitivity to the environment.SPG Vision & Values
Six divisions, one disciplined investment thesis.
SPG invests in the infrastructure of a modern South Africa — transport concessions, construction, facilities, telecoms — and builds the BEE partnerships that bring them to life.
SPG Concessions
Shareholdings across the Gautrain Rapid Rail concession — BCC, BOC, BTC, BCJV, and Mega Express.
SPG Construction
Heavy civils and rail construction — stations, depots, bridges, track-laying and Cut & Cover work across Gauteng.
Investments & Operations
SPGIO — security joint ventures, advertising with JCDecaux, and facilities services across the portfolio.
Isithimela Facilities
Station, depot and office cleaning across the Gautrain network — 190+ trained staff delivering every day.
Optinet Systems
Rail telecoms turnkey — fibre optics, CCTV, SCADA, passenger information and telephony for rail operators.
SPG Group
The parent holding company — the strategic centre coordinating capital allocation across the SPG portfolio.
Induna Tippers — empowerment on wheels.
Launched in October 2007, Induna Tippers put a fleet of black-owned tipper trucks onto the Gautrain construction earthworks — creating operators, not just workers.
The programme grew into a template for how SPG thinks about participation: not a supplier development tick-box, but a deliberate transfer of ownership into the communities we work alongside.
Mzolisi Diliza on the road ahead.
“SPG is more than a balance sheet. It is a vehicle for transformation that has been tested, beyond the Gautrain concession, on every project it has joined — and it is the strategic partners group the country should keep investing in.”
— Mzolisi Diliza, Group Chief Executive Officer & Founder
