Tebogo graduated from Technikon Northern Transvaal in 1996 with a National Diploma. He worked for the Department of Public Works in 1993 as an Architectural technology trainee.
In 1994 Tebogo joined LEMEG Architects and completed various projects, gained valuable experience in contracts administration. In 2000 he completed his Bachelor of Technology in Architecture at (Technikon Pretoria) now Tshwane University of Technology, specialising in design.
After two years of training, Tebogo gained managerial and technical experience while working on a number of noteworthy projects which included the Fetakgomo Municipal Offices, Jane Furse Hospital in the Sekhukhune District etc. In 2002 he became a junior partner and shared design and management responsibilities. He has since grown into the partnership and helped to transform the practice into a major player in the Province until the end of October 2014.
Tebogo has resigned as a partner, and his intention is to develop communities by focusing on youth, through a way of outreach programmes aimed at schools. The inspiration comes from Dr Patrick Awuah from his speech “Fostering Innovation as the Key to Lasting Change in Africa”.
His passion lies in architectural design and documentation. Some of the other notable projects under his direction include the proposed development of SAMARITAN CHILDRENS’ HOME.
All real Innovation is divergent: doing things differently to serve Customers better.
