Professionalism
These values shape how we work with our clients, our people, our subcontractors and the communities surrounding every project.
Leadership and people
Experience where it matters
Bahlaseli is led by founder and Managing Director Anelisa Aretha Fete, who holds a Diploma in Human Resources Management from Walter Sisulu University and certificates in Construction Management and Business Growth from the University of Cape Town.
She oversees day-to-day operations, project management, communication and client liaison.
Other members of the core team include Mr K Mbuli (civil engineering and building works experience spanning almost 12 years), Mr MM Tshamase (25 years of experience working in legal and compliance) and Mr D Smith (10 years of civil experience, in particular installing concrete culverts). Together, they provide the practical and administrative oversight required to move projects forward responsibly.
Our Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Management Plan is implemented across all sites. It guides compliance with contract specifications, occupational health and safety practices, resource allocation, progress monitoring, cost control and reporting.
The plan is managed by the Site Agent, Occupational Health and Safety Officer, Quality Control Manager and General Foreman.
Quality controls cover field sampling, staffing, material and equipment selection, inspection, testing and the documentation of work performed by Bahlaseli and its subcontractors.

Sustainability and communities
Building with communities, not simply within them
We prioritise the needs of our clients, projects and surrounding communities. Our stakeholder engagement process keeps project sponsors, clients, community representatives and local participants informed throughout delivery.
Where possible, our projects support skills development and participation by previously disadvantaged individuals. This strengthens local capability and builds relationships that extend beyond project completion.

Bahlaseli is compliant with VAT, Income Tax, UIF and Department of Employment and Labour requirements. We are registered on the Central Supplier Database and are members of the Bargaining Council for the Civil Engineering Industry and the South African Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors.
