About Us

Our mission is to establish a conglomerate of companies that can collectively operate in an eco-system for sustainable long term value generation.

Thus, the Group will become a benchmark for aggregating and partnering entrepreneurs with a vision of building a legacy balance sheet.

The businesses will leverage one another thereby enhancing value through their inherent similarities. Lebashe believes that technological evolution, disruptive technologies, changes to social norms and consumer behavior will drive further integration as well as introduce new and broaden existing opportunities.

Furthermore, Lebashe is committed to advancing the interests of historically disadvantaged participants, with a particular focus on the development and upliftment of young professionals on a sustainable and continuing basis.
