ABOUT US

Shangoni Management Services is an environmental, health and safety consulting company specialising in providing solutions for management systems, legal compliance, risk management and technical health, safety and environmental management challenges.

The company name, Shangoni, reflects our African roots and is a Venda word meaning “of the earth”, or “for the earth”, which reflects our commitment to preservation of our planet and communities.

Projects range in size from small, specialty tasks to large multidisciplinary efforts.

Shangoni operates on the business principle that client service and satisfaction comes first and foremost.

We achieve these goals through a simple formula – the personal commitment of a multidisciplinary, competent team, with in-depth industry expertise, ensuring quality services within the agreed budget and timeframe. In the case of Shangoni not having internal expertise, we have a network of competent scientists to conduct specialist studies.

In 2023, we partnered with occupational hygiene company, LenExCo, to deliver Occupational Hygiene Surveys and Monitoring solutions and services to our clients.

Petrus Grové

Non-Executive Director

Petrus obtained his BA, Hons-ThB from the North West University.

In his role as Managing Director and Co-founder of MD Foundation PTY (Ltd),  Missio Dei South Africa NPO and Missio Dei Education NPO, he believes that we will see change if positive people start to work together. His vision is to help create and establish sustainable models that can help solve some of the socio-economic issues we face in South-Africa. As a Christian he feels urged by the love of God to find practical solutions for the challenges at hand.

Missio Dei Education was started to address some of the educational challenges we face in South Africa. Many children are dropping out of school because they lack the much needed basics of foundation phase education. In July 2015 a remedial class center was started where children could attend after school and receive education in Mathematics and English.  Currently there are 7 centers of this nature in Meqheleng in Ficksburg as well as in Soshanguve, Mamelodi and Waltloo around Pretoria.

With Missio Dei being a shareholder in Shangoni, Shangoni’s commitment to social upliftment has been cemented in the DNA of the organisation.
