Raised in a small Northern Cape village, Shimmy Poloko turned firsthand experience of poor infrastructure into a thriving construction business dedicated to building safer roads and stronger communities.
Growing up in the small Northern Cape village of Batlharos, Shimmy Poloko witnessed firsthand how neglected infrastructure could shape the lives of entire communities.
Roads riddled with potholes, limited access to services and the challenges of living far from major economic hubs left a lasting impression on him. Rather than accepting those realities, Poloko saw them as motivation.
Today, he is the founder and director of Sekatebo Holdings, a civil construction and road infrastructure company that has grown into a trusted partner for government departments and municipalities, delivering road rehabilitation and maintenance projects across South Africa.
For Poloko, the business is about far more than construction contracts.
