Background
MATAU & SONS ltd was started and established by two energetic young men in 2018. Although viewed as being a very young company, MATAU & SONS ltd proved to be one of the leaders in light steel framing construction, steel construction, civil concrete works and overall project management.
Since we have started, MATAU & SONS ltd has evolved to being a diversified construction company with a well-established and growing client base, that are engaged in various construction contracts for private clients, companies and even governmental construction projects. MATAU & SONS ltd is being managed by two Directors: Johan Wessels and Gideon Scheepers.
The name “MATAU & SONS” were chosen in order to commemorate one of the most amazing human beings that have ever existed: our dearly beloved Grandmother, Susanna Wessels. “Matau” is the native Sotho-word for “lioness” and was given to our Grandmother in her younger years by the farmworkers on their farm. They saw fit to call her Matau as they identified and compared her to the lioness who gave her all in order to provide for herself and her cubs, who never stood back to protect her pride and to never give up – regardless of her situation or any obstacles in life.
As a single parent, she had to raise twelve children by herself. Of the twelve children were five sons and seven daughters. Bringing them up within the Grace and fear of the Almighty, our Grandmother established and instilled a hard-working, honest and sincere culture and lifestyle amongst her children; reflective of her own personal code of conduct.
A very intellectual and bright woman, she taught her children to be self-driven, innovative thinkers and be able to resolve any kind of problem through faith and hard work. Being able to honestly and proudly be willing to do all work good enough as for being done for the Almighty, she instilled pride and quality as natural gifts onto her children. She also taught them to work hard in order to achieve all things in life, and never to take anything for granted.
We see all these traits in our fathers, uncles and aunts. Our parents have instilled all these characteristics onto us as well. As they have lived their lives in accordance with the matriarch, Matau, during her life, our parents have done and lived the same for us. We want to pass down this legacy to our future generation, and therefore we chose the name “MATAU & SONS”. The “ltd” was added when registration of the company took place.
