Founded in 2010 as Peo Ya Africa Consulting Engineers, we have grown into a diversified Group with interests spanning multi-disciplinary consulting, property development, contract mining, and resource trading — delivering integrated value across South Africa.
Our Group Structure
Registered in 2010 and operating continuously since then, Peo Ya Africa began as a multi-disciplinary consulting engineering firm. Over fifteen years, the business evolved into a fully-fledged Group holding company with four complementary divisions under unified leadership.
From engineering consulting and property development to contract mining operations and commodity trading, we leverage deep domain expertise and shared infrastructure to deliver sustainable value for our stakeholders and the communities where we operate.
