WHO WE ARE
EBUKHOSINI SOLUTIONS offers efficient and groundbreaking solutions related to community development, capacity building and cultural events. We specialise in education, training, production, management and social entrepreneurship.
EBUKHOSINI SOLUTIONS is 100% Black-owned and Black-managed, and we provide our services from a genuine Afrikan perspective, drawing solutions from the vast historical and cultural traditions existing from ancient times – and making them relevant in a modern context.
“Ebukhosini” means “house of royalty”. We have chosen this name because we want to live up to high standards of excellent performance, ethical conduct and ambitious achievements. We create practical solutions with awareness, dignity and drive.

OUR BACKGROUND
EBUKHOSINI SOLUTIONS was founded in 2002 by Baba Buntu (Amani Olubanjo Buntu), a social entrepreneur with a long track record within education and developmental work. We started out taking on small contracts in Johannesburg and providing short term services.
Over the years our company has grown and increasingly taken on larger projects in different parts of South Africa. We have expanded our work scope and have also taken on contracts in other parts of Africa, Europe and the Americas.

At EBUKHOSINI SOLUTIONS we are not afraid of challenges. Actually, we love them. Throw a difficult problem at us and we will bounce back with a creative solution. Or ten. We think outside the box. Yet, our feet are firmly on practical grounds. And we don’t go home until the solution is implemented. Effectively.
Some may call it attitude. We call it qualitative style.
