Khato Civils, the Pride of Black Owned Construction Giants :: Mmegi Online

Black Owned Civil Engineering giants, Khato Civils and South Zambezi are officially among the few black owned construction companies to achieve the maximum Construction Industry grading, Grade 9 rating, otherwise known as the CIDB grading in South Africa.

During their recently held Annual General Meeting in Johannesburg, the executive chairman of the two civil works and engineering companies Simbi Phiri proudly announced that his companies have been graded level 9 in Civil Engineering, general building, mechanical engineering and electrical infrastructure.

To put the Khato Civils and South Zambezi’s impressive grading credentials into context , the latest CIDB report released in July says that most black owned contractors make grades 2-4. The CIDB report also observes that black ownership is lower in mechanical, electrical and specialist engineering contractors and significantly lower in grade 9, at around 25-30%.
