Founded in 2020 by Lesedi Madihlaba, our company, LJM HOLDINGS, stands as a testament to the power of expertise, unwavering dedication, and an unrelenting passion for excellence in the field of automotive repair and maintenance. Lesedi’s journey into the automotive industry began with a deep-seated commitment to mastering his craft, driven by a desire to deliver unparalleled service and quality to vehicle owners. His academic foundation was laid at Nkangala TVET College’s Middelburg Campus, where he pursued a comprehensive program in Automotive Repair and Maintenance. Through rigorous study and hands-on training, Lesedi graduated in 2019, equipped with the technical knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in the competitive automotive sector.
Following his formal education, Lesedi further refined his expertise by immersing himself in the family business, a motor spare company. This experience not only deepened his understanding of the intricacies of vehicle components but also instilled in him a strong work ethic and a customer-centric approach. In 2021, Lesedi took a significant step forward in his career by assuming the role of manager at a prominent motor vehicle repair workshop. This position allowed him to gain invaluable insights into the operational and managerial aspects of running a successful automotive business. It was here that he developed a keen eye for detail, a knack for problem-solving, and the ability to lead a team effectively—skills that would later prove instrumental in the establishment and growth of LJM HOLDINGS.
In the first quarter of 2024, Lesedi’s vision expanded as he joined forces with two like-minded individuals: his cousin, Themba Griffiths Nzima, and his close friend, Lethabo Lethwana. Together, they founded LJM HOLDINGS, a dynamic and innovative force in the automotive industry. This partnership was born out of a shared passion for excellence and a collective desire to redefine the standards of automotive repair and maintenance services.
Themba Griffiths Nzima, a highly qualified Diesel Mechanic, brings a wealth of experience to the team. His distinguished career includes a notable tenure at Columbus Stainless Steel and Verasize (Hitachi), where he specialized in assembling and maintaining new yellow plant machinery. Themba’s technical prowess, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, ensures that every project undertaken by LJM HOLDINGS meets the highest standards of quality and precision. His expertise in diesel engines and heavy machinery adds a unique dimension to the company’s service offerings, enabling LJM HOLDINGS to cater to a diverse range of automotive needs.
Lethabo Lethwana, on the other hand, contributes a strong educational background and a wealth of practical experience to the team. A graduate of Waterberg College, Lethabo’s academic training laid the groundwork for her technical expertise. Her professional journey includes a significant tenure at Anglo American’s Mogalakwena Mine, where she honed her skills in a high-pressure, industrial environment. Lethabo’s ability to manage complex tasks, coupled with her commitment to excellence, makes her an invaluable asset to the workshop. Her role at LJM HOLDINGS ensures that every aspect of the business operates seamlessly, from customer service to the execution of repair and maintenance tasks.
