Mpho Sekgobela, Managing Director

Mpho leads the business with a clear focus on dependable supply, practical service and fittings that hold up in the field. He knows how quickly an irrigation delay can affect planting schedules, so his approach is simple: get the right parts out on time and make sure clients have the support they need when work is moving fast.

With years in the trade, Mpho keeps a close eye on product range, supplier standards and the kind of advice farmers and contractors actually use on site. He is hands-on with big orders, repeat supply and planning for projects that need steady stock through hot, dry months and the pressure of load-shedding. A proper fit and correct solvent weld matters, and he makes sure the team treats that as non-negotiable.

  • Oversees stock direction and customer service standards
  • Supports farm orders, contractor accounts and repeat supply
  • Guides the team on practical irrigation product selection

Annelie van Zyl, Sales Manager

Annelie works closely with customers who need quick, accurate product selection and clear pricing guidance. She helps match fittings, tools and quantities to the actual job, whether it is a small repair, a new line installation or a larger irrigation layout on a farm or landscaping site.

She is known for keeping orders organised and for asking the right questions up front, which saves time and avoids wrong stock being sent out. If a client is unsure about sizes, jointing needs or how much stock to reserve, Annelie breaks it down in plain language. Her attention to detail helps keep the process moving, even when the order list is long and the site conditions are not ideal.

  • Assists with product selection and system matching
  • Handles stock reserving and quantity checks
  • Supports contractors with repeat orders and planning

Thabo Mashaba, Technical Advisor

Thabo is the person people speak to when they need technical advice that is grounded in real site conditions. He understands irrigation pressure, jointing methods, fitting compatibility and the kind of problems that show up after installation, especially in dusty, sunny or coastal conditions where gear gets tested hard.

He gives straightforward troubleshooting help for leaks, poor joints and parts that do not line up properly. Thabo also helps contractors and farmers avoid common mistakes before they become costly. Whether the job is in Polokwane, Mokopane or further afield, he keeps the focus on making sure the system works properly the first time round.

Clients value his calm approach and practical way of explaining what to check, what to replace and what can be kept in service. It saves time and helps reduce wasted stock.

  • Provides jointing advice and troubleshooting help
  • Checks compatibility across fittings and tools
  • Supports field work with clear technical guidance

Lerato Mokoena, Branch Coordinator

Lerato keeps the Ladanna base running in order and makes sure customer requests are followed through properly. She tracks enquiries, helps coordinate order flow and makes sure the team knows what needs to be set aside for collection, local delivery or courier dispatch. That kind of follow-up is important when several jobs are happening at once.

She also helps manage the day to day details that clients do not always see, like reserving stock for a farm run, checking what needs to go to Tzaneen or making sure a contractor order is ready without delays. Lerato is good at keeping things organised without overcomplicating the process, which makes a real difference on busy weeks.

  • Coordinates enquiries and order progress
  • Assists with local collections and delivery preparation
  • Helps keep branch operations organised and on schedule

Johan Smit, Logistics Supervisor

Johan manages movement of stock from the Polokwane base into the wider region, including deliveries to Mokopane, Tzaneen, Hoedspruit, Lephalale and Thohoyandou, plus nationwide courier work. He plans loads carefully so orders leave in good condition and arrive ready for use, not rattling around loose in a truck or courier bag.

He understands that irrigation jobs often run on tight timeframes, so timing matters as much as packing. Johan keeps an eye on route planning, stock security and the practical side of dispatch. A missed fitting or a damaged box can hold up a whole installation, so he treats logistics as part of the service, not just a back office task. His work helps the team stay reliable even when roads, weather or municipal access times complicate a delivery.

  • Manages regional deliveries and courier dispatch
  • Plans stock movement to farming and contractor areas
  • Checks packing quality and dispatch readiness

Nokuthula Dlamini, Customer Support Lead

Nokuthula is the steady voice behind after sales support, repeat orders and general customer follow up. She makes sure clients are not left wondering about stock, order status or the next step after an enquiry is sent through the contact form. Her work is important for farms and contractors that need consistent supply over more than one season.

She also helps with post sale questions, whether that is confirming quantities, sorting a replacement issue or helping a client come back with the same specification for another site. Nokuthula is patient, practical and very good at keeping communication clear. Customers appreciate that they can ask for help and get an answer without having to repeat the whole story each time.

Her support is part of what makes the team dependable over the long term, not just on the day the order leaves the yard.
