Our Story
Sotobe Industries (Pty)Ltd is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and visionary leadership of its founder, Moekanyi Sibiya. Our journey began with a simple yet impactful idea—providing scooter rentals for gig economy workers, such as those involved in food delivery services like Uber Eats and Mr D, in South Africa.
Recognizing the immense potential of the emerging gig economy and the need for affordable and reliable transportation options, Moekanyi Sibiya embarked on a mission to empower individuals and support the growth of the transport industry in South Africa.
Starting with a fleet of scooters available for rent, Sotobe Industries quickly gained traction as a trusted partner for gig workers seeking efficient and flexible means of transportation. As the demand grew, so did our vision. We saw an opportunity to expand our services and cater to a wider range of industries and applications.
Driven by a commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, Sotobe Industries diversified its offerings, gradually venturing into other equipment rentals. Understanding the dynamic needs of various sectors, we expanded our fleet to include construction machinery, mining equipment, and more.
Today, Sotobe Industries has become a leading name in the equipment rental industry, serving not only gig economy workers but also businesses across different sectors. We continue to adapt and evolve, responding to the ever-changing demands of our customers and the South African market.
Moekanyi Sibiya’s unwavering dedication and entrepreneurial vision have guided Sotobe Industries on its remarkable journey of growth and success. As the founder, Moekanyi’s passion for empowering individuals and driving innovation remains at the heart of our company’s ethos.
With a strong focus on providing reliable, high-quality equipment rentals and exceptional customer service, Sotobe Industries is poised to make a lasting impact in the transport and equipment rental sectors in South Africa and beyond. Our story is one of perseverance, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, empowering individuals and businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing economy.
