OUR STORY - EST. 2018
From Makhapas to one of Southern Africa's preferred timber suppliers.
Thaba began as a small business supplying Makhapas and limited volumes of dunnage to the local market. Consistent quality and a customer-first approach grew us into a comprehensive timber supplier for private and public sector clients.
Founder Oarabile Shima's experience steers the business: two sawmills feeding production, two timber yards holding consignment stock for long-standing customers, and a proven track record of awarded public-sector tenders for treated transmission poles. We take compliance seriously, operating in full accordance with SARS statutory requirements across every aspect of the business.
For nearly a decade, we've focused on long-term partnerships founded on trust, service excellence and mutual growth. The commitment is unchanged: exceptional timber solutions, delivered with reliability, quality and professionalism across every sector we serve.
