It was in 2015 when a young couple, Portia Hlako and Dandy Matamela were launching their first development, a block of flats with 53 units in the Pretoria North. With an urgency to fill up the flats with tenants, they approached multiple agencies to assist them with filling up the units. Months passed and the units were still empty. The duo, together with their team, took it upon themselves to market the property and look for tenants. In a little less than two months, the property was fully occupied, with 60% of the units filled up internally.
That formed the inception of Pormat Proprietary Limited, founded by Portia Hlako as an inhouse property management company for Muma Investments, with the purpose of responding to the market gap. Since 2015, Pormat (PTY) LTD, has been going through teething stage and finding its feet in the market. It is out of these experiences that Pormat (PTY)Ltd, identified a unique gap in the market where project owners can be empowered to successfully market and manage their own projects.
As part of its growth trajectories, Pormat (PTY) LTD needed to be formalized and registered with the EAAB to start competing in the broader market. In order achieve this, the founding CEO, Mrs. Portia Hlako sort partnership with a long-standing associate, Mrs. Rina Kruger and Mrs. Aneshca Kuhn as Principal, to form Pormat Property Group (PTY) Ltd.
Our unique value proposition has been informed by the quest to bridge the identified gap:
- By partnering with the project owners (those who are most concerned about the project),
- By organically transferring the skills needed to manage their projects through continuous training and development,
- By empowering them with the necessary tools, knowledge and experiences required to participate meaningfully as Independent Property Practitioners in line with the Property Practitioner’s Bill.
