These investments range from diverse sectors such as media, property, financial services, hospitality and tourism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThebe Services wants to become a major player in the services industry,\u201d says Jerry Mabena, CEO of<br \/>\nThebe Services. \u201cWe have major investments in tourism, and we are looking to expand our footprint in various other sectors. In the hospitality sector, we are looking specifically at catering; and in the property arena we are looking at student accommodation and affordable housing. In the media sector we are particularly interested in the electronic and digital media arena, as we believe there are incredibly exciting opportunities and we would like to be able to penetrate that,\u201d Mabena says.<\/p>\n<p>Thebe Services also boasts a new division, namely the Logistics strand. \u201cThis is a growth sector for us,\u201d Mabena says, \u201cas we are looking at supplying fresh produce locally and internationally. We acquired the logistics company almost two years ago and we are excited about the growth that this will facilitate for Thebe Services.\u201d Not only does this division provide a service to the industry, but it also provides a service to Thebe Services. \u201cIt has a great double benefit,\u201d Mabena explains, \u201cand this is exactly what Thebe Services is about. It is about finding those synergies and seeing how we can work together. It has been a phenomenal success thus far,\u201d Mabena says.<\/p>\n<p>Thebe Services is excited about the future of the services industry. \u201cWe believe in investing in growth-oriented companies and we would like to take businesses that are currently relatively small and grow them into something bigger and better,\u201d Mabena concludes.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a true game changer in the Services sector is not easy but Thebe Services has clearly stepped up to the challenge and is taking everything in its stride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Irene Basson Jerry Mabena talks to the Thebe Times about his vision for Thebe Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","post_format-post-format-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.3 -
