Having gained this experience and networking in the construction sector, Thabang decided to start a business. Pro-Serve Consulting was an idea born in 2007 as a closed corporation called Pro-Serve and Associates CC which was later incorporated as a Pty Ltd in 2009.

Not only is he driven by the love of buildings and passion for business but he strongly believes in contributing to building people’s dreams, the communities he serves and the country at large. For this reason, Thabang decided to spare time out of his business and invest in human capital by forming part of few mentors in the construction industry who are transferring the skills and knowledge to the future professionals for absolutely no financial benefit for himself nor his business. His proven track record in mentorship and being one of the few industry corporates that are instrumental in building technical capacity for the National Department of Public Works and Infrastructure over the past years.

Thabang enjoys conversing with individuals who know exactly what they want professionally and personally. He derives satisfaction from helping people design specific performance objectives for their personal growth. He realizes each individuals’ interests, motivations, desires, fears, and workstyles are different and he honors that. He believes understanding a person’s ambitions gives him an insight into the type of support, training, experiences, partnerships and nurturing he or she needs to thrive. This distinguishes him as a good mentor and is evident from his workforce consisting of young professionals who are continually equipped to upgrade from the candidature to professional status. Thabang feels it’s best, to be honest with goals, achievements, talents, skills, education, successes, experiences or background as he is much happier when he does not pretend to be someone else.

Sometimes he feels obliged to honor commitments even if he is inconvenienced. This partially explains why he insists on doing things correctly.
