Shongile Nyavana Mathye: CEO of Magulasavi Trading Enterprise

Meet Shongile Nyavana Mathye, Director and CEO of Magulasavi Trading Enterprise (Pty) Ltd, a Centurion-based business with over a decade of experience across petroleum, construction, and waste management. Magulasavi supplies bulk fuel products — from diesel and jet fuel to LPG — and provides safe transport for medical, general, and hazardous waste. The company also delivers on residential, industrial, and commercial construction projects, including civil works and home automation. Shongile joined the Women in Green Construction, Waste Management, and Renewable Energy (WIG) Programme — hosted by the South African Supplier Diversity Council (SASDC) and sponsored by Sasol — to expand her network and drive meaningful change. “We want to be one of the biggest contributors in the industry by improving the current crisis through innovation,” she says. At the heart of Magulasavi’s vision is integration: merging construction, waste management, and green energy to build a more circular economy. Through projects like the company’s Net-Zero Energy Residential Development, they’re creating homes that produce as much energy as they consume — using solar, airtight insulation, and smart storage. Shongile acknowledges the challenges — financing, regulations, and skills gaps — but remains optimistic: “We’re moving from Net Zero to Net Positive. Imagine communities where buildings generate more energy than they consume, turning entire neighbourhoods into shared clean energy networks.” For her, sustainability is personal — about cleaner air, healthier communities, and affordable energy that improves quality of life. Through the WIG Programme, she’s strengthening her leadership and proving how women are shaping Africa’s green economy. 🔗 Contact Magulasavi Trading Enterprise: http://bit.ly/47e6wMx Glynnis Jackson IYBA-SEED Project GIZ South Africa, Lesotho & eSwatini Expertise France SNV #projectembrace
