Transforming Lives
"Each Person is Born with an Ability to Succeed"
Gavin Watson, CEO Bosasa Group of Companies
This initiative is about changing people's lives for the better, every day. To our CEO, Gavin Watson, it's a fundamental principle that all human beings are capable of succeeding. This idea has also now become entrenched in the way that Bosasa interacts with the world.
Transforming Lives began during Gavin Watson's childhood and in the years of the struggle against Apartheid. It has since gathered momentum and, now that it's part of Bosasa, this initiative has the potential to reach and uplift many thousands of South Africans.
Bosasa's Capital Hill Success Formula
These are the building blocks that make up the way Bosasa and Transforming Lives work together to empower South Africans:
|
Human Capital
For a country to grow, its people need to do so as well. This is why Bosasa has an incredibly positive attitude towards training people and providing them with a chance to learn and improve their current standing. Bosasa is also a level 2 status BBBEE company with a strong focus towards women's equality.

 |
Intellectual Capital
This element has two parts: our products and our personnel. As leaders in technology, Bosasa has some exceptional hardware and software, which was developed in our own research laboratories. In addition, the people who work at Bosasa are nurtured and assisted in every way possible. We have state-of-the-art training centres and all of our employees are given the opportunity to take courses.
|
 |
Spiritual Capital
For Bosasa, this element will always be linked to our corporate sustainability. The ethos of improving society and giving back is entrenched in all of our personnel and in every action we take as a company.
|
 |
Emotional Capital
We believe that our Group has a heart and it's this that promotes a sense of well-being in our employees. It also binds us to our clients in lasting relationships that better both parties.
|
 |
Venture Capital
Starting a company like Bosasa requires a large leap of faith and considerable venture capital to get it off the ground. Gavin Watson gathered his resources and stepped out into the unknown to create something special. This concept of being a pioneer has never left the Bosasa way of life.
|
 |
Energy Capital
It's important for all of our employees to have a strong drive and high energy levels. Without these principles, we wouldn’t be able to continue advancing and leading the way in our industry.
|
 |
Knowledge Capital
Knowledge is power and at Bosasa, we prove that this is true. We constantly develop new technology and systems, giving us the edge when it comes to providing services and building lasting relationships with clients.
