The 2024 Real Estate Conference and Expo gathered a diverse mix of real estate experts, government officials, and innovators focused on transforming the industry.

Organised with Letlole La Rona Limited (LLR) as the primary sponsor, the event provided a platform for in-depth discussions on community-focused and sustainable real estate practices. Through a series of keynote addresses, insightful panel discussions, and interactive sessions, attendees explored how the sector can support both economic growth and community well-being. LLR’s CEO, Kamogelo Mowaneng, delivered a compelling opening address, sharing a vision that frames real estate as a catalyst for positive societal impact. When approached with intention, Mowaneng emphasised that real estate can go beyond physical spaces to foster opportunities for community growth and economic empowerment. “Real estate is more than structures; it’s about creating spaces that uplift people and support thriving communities,” she noted.

This perspective set a forward-looking tone for the event, inspiring participants to consider how to shape real estate to benefit communities whilst achieving financial sustainability. Mowaneng also employed a powerful metaphor to communicate her vision, comparing real estate to the African Basket. Known for its strength and versatility, the basket symbolises resourcefulness and continuity qualities that Mowaneng sees as critical in real estate. “At LLR, we consider our investments as a form of this symbolic basket, one that holds opportunities for growth, preservation, and a shared future,” she explained.
