Super Power Podcast- Season 1 Episode 5
Lerato Khunoana is a Civil engineering graduate and founder of Lekhuns Projects, a 100% Woman black owned construction company which specialises in the construction of roads, concrete work and buildings.
Her strong urge to lead, inspired her to establish her own company in 2014. Before Lekhuns Projects, Lerato worked in managerial positions for Group Five, Murray & Roberts, Ca Brand and Superway over the years.
Lerato believes that there is no such thing as a man’s world which is one of the reasons she studied Civil Engineering, a field which is dominated by men. She believes that one needs to take initiative and become independent in order to be the best version of themselves.
I loved talking to Lerato, firstly dealing with varsity residence politics (lol) then getting straight into her journey through the industry of engineering and how she has survived through recessions, retrenchments and covid. During our conversation, she re-iterated a few principals which I practice as an entrepreneur, and how much impact we have on the businesses we decide to lead. She also reminded me how important it is to "hold your own" in conversations, in meetings and know the power that one possesses.
