Why Makalani

The Makalani team has the experience and track record needed to harness the opportunities within the identified markets and funding gaps, as demonstrated in its running of the first fund (being one of the largest standalone funds of its kind in South Africa) and other landmark BEE transactions.

What’s more, the Management Company is black managed and controlled, boosting Makalani’s credibility in the BEE arena with an empowered asset manager both in the form of ownership and management. The management team has substantial experience in the BEE market stemming from various roles as equity participants, as well as the providers of BEE financing to other equity participants. This experience complemented by strong relationships within the BEE market gives Makalani a competitive advantage over other funders.

The team also has well-established networks in both the investment banking and institutional markets, allowing it to benefit from being able to draw support where required, yet remaining independent from any one single organisation
