Who we are

An African strategic investment and business linkage firm.

We work where markets are complex, regulation is demanding and community trust is essential, because that is where structured, well connected advisory creates the most value.

Our foundations reach back to 1999, when our founder established a tourism advisory practice serving government and the private sector. Since then, the leadership behind Mputle Inc has advised traditional authorities, chambers of commerce, provincial government and international development programmes across the continent.

Our purpose is simple: to build sustainable business linkages, unlock investment and drive economic transformation that respects culture, protects the environment and lifts communities.
