African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM) has partnered with Motseng Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd to create a new investment platform, Motseng Ideas Infrastructure Group (MIIG), aimed at advancing social and economic infrastructure across South Africa.
The new entity, valued at close to R1 billion in managed assets, is backed by scalable capital and will concentrate on projects designed to improve communities while driving inclusive economic growth. MIIG is positioned to work alongside government, private sector partners, and local communities, with operations expected to expand into the broader Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.
Led by an executive team with over 40 years of combined experience, MIIG highlights its transformation credentials through an ownership profile comprising more than 67% black shareholders and over 57% black women. The company says this marks a significant step for representation and empowerment in South Africa’s infrastructure sector.
“AIIM remains committed to sustainable and inclusive infrastructure investment. Through MIIG, we join a powerful platform that combines exceptional women and black economic empowerment credentials with proven execution capability and a strong balance sheet which will provide the financial strength to support long-term growth,” said Vuyo Ntoi, Co-Managing Director at African Infrastructure Investment Managers. “Together with Motseng, we are creating a powerful investment platform that not only promised to deliver strong investment returns but also drives long-term socio-economic impact.”
“MIIG represents more than just a business venture, it is a statement of intent. It reflects our commitment to pioneering empowerment-driven infrastructure development that not only meets the needs of the market but also advances meaningful black and black women ownership,” said Ipeleng Mkhari, chief executive officer of Motseng. “This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver high-impact infrastructure projects while aligning with South Africa’s socio-economic transformation goals.”
In the near term, MIIG plans to focus on Public-Private Partnership initiatives across social infrastructure, healthcare, and government office accommodation. Its longer-term strategy includes attracting fresh investment and extending operations into the wider SADC region.
The firm describes itself as a catalyst for change in African infrastructure investment, combining financial strength and industry expertise with an inclusive approach aimed at building a more resilient and equitable future.
