Secha Capital

Compiled from public sources

Secha Capital is a Johannesburg-based private equity firm founded in 2016 that specialises in investing in established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Southern Africa. The firm employs a unique "Operator-Investor" model, which combines growth capital with hands-on human capital by seconding experienced consultants and operators to work within portfolio companies to bridge the "management gap". Its investment strategy focuses on "boring" yet essential sectors such as FMCG, agribusiness, and manufacturing, specifically targeting companies at an inflexion point as they transition to tech-enabled or green-economy models. Secha Capital operates as a patient capital holding company, prioritising job creation and operational value-add alongside financial returns.
