About Us

Who we are

Founded in 1999 by Sipho Shezi — South Africa’s first post-apartheid Director-General of the Department of Public Works — the Sirius Development Foundation was built on a clear conviction: that Africa’s development challenges require more than donor funding and public spend. They require entrepreneurial commitment, local ownership, and the kind of structural thinking that turns infrastructure into genuine community upliftment.

Our Mission

Our mission is to close the gap between infrastructure policy and practical delivery — developing affordable housing, strengthening healthcare supply chains, and creating economic participation for communities across Africa. We do this by combining deep public-sector expertise with the discipline and accountability of a commercially viable enterprise.

Our Vision

A continent where infrastructure development is driven by local leadership, local ownership, and genuine partnership — and where every project leaves the community it serves more capable, more connected, and more prosperous than it found it.
