Young architect aims to build dreams in his community
Set to help change lives and build quality homes for the community, Moraka Matsobane Kgole (29) from Polokwane is on a mission.
POLOKWANE – “I studied towards an architecture qualification at Intec College where I learned about the art and science of designing buildings and non-building structures. I have been in this industry for many years, learning the ins and outs from my father. Now I want to use this knowledge to help others and better the community,” he explained.
Kgole told BONUS they work in partnership with the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) and the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) to ensure client satisfaction and quality work.

“Since branching out and opening our building and architecture company, Maitemogelo Architects and Projects, located in Mahlako-A-Phaahla Gardens, I have learnt as young people it is our responsibility to ensure we get up, take risks and start businesses so we can create jobs and leave a legacy for our children to follow.
“I have worked with the family business, an opportunity which has allowed me to learn and grow into an aspiring businessman, starting my own company.”
He added he plans to hire young, qualified architects in Polokwane to work at his company, based at 14 Machaka Street, Mahlako-A-Phaahla Gardens, Polokwane Ext 109, as junior architectural draughtsman.
“I am currently looking to empower and hire two young qualified architects as a way of ploughing back into the community so they too can one day start their own businesses and empower generations to come.
“Just as I was afforded an opportunity to work in the architectural industry while I was studying, I also want to help those in need to reach their dreams and better their lives.
“Eligible candidates must be competent in AutoCad and Revit as well as know how to do energy efficiency calculations regarding buildings, how to read a building plan and quantify materials and have exceptionally good marketing skills. They can forward their CVs to kgole.moraka@gmail.com,” he said.
Maitemogelo Architects and Projects also manufactures and supplies bricks made of cement and clay and also assist clients with finance and bond applications.
