Value-Add Proposition

Lereko’s overriding value proposition is that it seeks to be a long-term strategic partner, working together with its shareholders, board and management towards growing shareholder value. Through its executive partners, staff, shareholders and board members, Lereko offers a broad scope of industry knowledge, leadership skills and expertise that serve to enhance its strategic partnerships. Wherever possible, specialist skill is incorporated into the entities in which Lereko invests. By investing in human capital development, and skills development and transfer, Lereko plays a pivotal role in sharing and building expertise. Our aim is to partner and augment throughout the value chain.

Lereko’s shareholders’ unique experience in crafting the political solution in South Africa has found important parallels in the business environment. The Lereko team has over time developed strong relationships with policy makers at all levels in South Africa and throughout the continent. This insight into the macro economic, political and social environments is invaluable.

To this end the team is able to participate pro-actively with management in evolving and directing strategy not only in South Africa and on the continent, but globally too. While Lereko’s principals do not seek to become full time executives within their strategic partnerships, the objective is always to participate in more than a shareholder capacity. In this regard, Lereko would request for management to identify key areas where its involvement is required and would deploy its principals accordingly.
