Why we serve Africa's
education ecosystems?
HOW WE WORK
We are a bespoke professional services firm inspired by the African women of Lebombo Mountain in Southern Africa. Archaeologists consider Lebombo women to be the world’s first known mathematicians.
Our diverse team of country, sector and, industry specialists serve school proprietors, principals and, vendors participating in Africa's education ecosystems.
WHAT SETS US APART
We work with education centres that train Africa's learners on-site, virtually and/ or home schooled - from early childhood care to tertiary centres operating as artisan institutions, technical colleges and, accredited universities.
Specific to proprietors, next-generation owners and, principals - our services account for your local market, centre's brand and, stage in the business life cycle. This assessment enables us to refine with you relevant, efficient and, sustainable solutions to win in a highly competitive and complex business environment.
OUR PARTNERS
We surround ourselves with policy influencers, industry specialists and, funding practitioners to offer you a one-stop bespoke solution that accounts for global industry best practice and, the required pertinent homegrown cultural market understanding, for your efficient competitive strength.
Our partners continue to work beyond education and in all key sectors driving Africa’s prosperity – from agriculture, health, infrastructure (energy, transport and, information & communication technology) to manufacturing, retail plus banking, financial and, insurance services.

In your business’ journey we are your holistic partner in the fragmented, complex and, diverse Africa education ecosystem – be it local, regional and/ or a continental perspective.
WE FOCUS ON THE OPERATIONS OF SUSTAINABLE HEALTHY SCHOOLS
Lebombo co-creates with you discrete, customized and, market relevant solutions for immediate, medium and, long-term success. In a highly competitive education ecosystem, we work with start-ups, growth and, mature plus renewal/ rebirth/ declining businesses. We seek to enable you to sustainably create relevant, healthy and, best-in-class enterprises.
Our team is dedicated to the pertinence of executive leadership and, board (trustees and/ or directors) compliance in a market where succession planning is a sensitive, complex and, growing sustainable operations concern in many family-led/ managed entities. This business health risk is driven mainly by the lack of transparent: financial record keeping; wealth management planning and/ or; next-generation owner school legacy planning strategy.
