THE DROOGFONTEIN PTY LTD
is the trading entity of the Droogfontein Communal Property Association (D-CPA)
Our offices are situated at 5 Roper Street, Kimberley North in Kimberley (see Contact Us).
We are a vibrant and buoyant company with a human capital largely derived from a third generation of our forebears that were forcibly removed from our ancestral land between the years 1947-1952.
We owe our being and sustenance to - Noka e Tshetlha (the majestic Vaal River) - where we continue to seek a harvest of abundance from.
It’s from our vast land mass of 12 000 hectares where South Africa’s new age grip on renewable energy is ingrained with 426 360 PhotoVoltaic (PV) panels from Droogfontein’s two solar (see Commercial Ventures).
“Droogfontein CPA’s Economic Propeller”
Droogfontein Pty Ltd bears the overarching and empowering responsibility of managing current income streams and spearheading economic opportunities on behalf of the D-CPA. Equally, we are duty bound in drawing and setting the path for future investments into Droogfontein (see Investment Opportunities).
With benefits arising from the two solar photovoltaic power plants perched at Droogfontein, we have enjoyed large scale success in championing the cause for SMMEs of the beneficiary community members and those within 50km radius. Business training and capacity building remains part of the fundamentals which we are advancing.
