We do the right thing, even when no one else is looking. What is right, is different to doing what is easy. We think like clients but act like owners. Every employee has the power to make our business better.

We achieve our purpose by focusing on providing the often overlooked, essential components of everyday life that respond to the diverse needs of society. Getting this right, does not happen by chance.

Our vision is to turn ordinary businesses into extraordinary performers, delivering strong and consistent shareholder returns in the process, while understanding that people create wealth, companies only report it.

Who We Are.

Founded by Botho Bopalamo and Lesiba Thaba, Botho Mmotse began as a upstart among a sea of established “white shoe” corporations. Rorisang Bopalamo then joined the team to become the Human Resources Manager. We are a leading parent company based in North West with four individual businesses operating across the Republic of South Africa.

Our strategy over the years has remained true to our diversified offering. We have developed businesses that align to the concept of providing services in civil works, labour relations, hygiene solutions, and training development. Our diversified portfolio operates through four divisions. Botho Mmotse’s diversity is its strength as it empowers businesses to act as catalysts for value creation.

Our History.

Our first two years were marked by slow and steady growth of our client base as we set out to establish ourselves as the go-to firm for our clients’ most complex labour related problems. Our willingness to handle proxy matters deemed unseemly by white shoe firms — positioned us to ultimately become the firm of choice for the hostile takeovers that dominated the commercial landscape.

Excellence

We value and respect the skills, time and intentions of all our people. We strive to provide an environment where they can do, and become, their best.

Our Strategy.

We promote and support our teams to create an ecosystem of businesses that actively supports and adds value to our client base, but at the same time strengthens society and enables it to function efficiently and sustainably.

We foster innovation and an environment in which our clients thrive, which in turn drives our advance across markets, geographies and society. We continually seek to maximise our portfolio by broadening our offering, expanding internationally in civil works, labour relations, hygiene solutions, and training development services.

Managing Director

Recognizing the value of providing full-service advice to clients, from day one we sought to develop a range of complementary practice, like litigation. Client needs led us to open virtual offices to serve a national market, and the volume of work we were handling fueled exponential growth.

That growth included a significant expansion of the practices we offered to clients. We’ve built on that platform to provide advice to clients on their most important matters. Our core values reflect the ideals of our history, and we remain committed to providing excellent lawyering and unrivaled client service in all our work.

A big business starts small.
