Tseke Jafta Masemola

The inspiration behind us

Michael Masemola, the founder of the company, derived his passion for retail from his father Tseke Jafta Masemola who ran a small shop in a rural area – at a time when, by law, he was not permitted to own property.

Jafta instilled his work ethic, future focus and wisdom into the young Masemola. Moving from a law degree to retail property development was as a direct result of lessons learnt in early childhood about storekeeping.

The first shopping centre built by RPIH was built on the land where Mike grew up and where Jafta had his store. A fitting tribute to the man.

It is Mike’s vision to enhance the lives of rural South Africans by creating centres of hope – shopping centres, clinics and offices, bringing development and jobs to local communities.

It is not just about Mike, however. RPIH is a team of professionals, well qualified to make his vision a concrete reality.
