Port Elizabeth, South Africa – February 1, 2026 – Moladi is proud to announce that its founder, Hennie Botes, has been officially invited by Minister Thembi Simelane of the National Department of Human Settlements to participate as a guest speaker and exhibitor at the upcoming Innovative Building Technologies (IBT) Conference, taking place at Nasrec, Johannesburg, on 3–4 February 2026.


The IBT Conference is a premier platform for showcasing cutting-edge solutions in the construction and housing sector, with a strong focus on sustainable, affordable, and scalable technologies. As a pioneer in innovative construction methods, Moladi will highlight its award-winning building system, designed to address the pressing need for affordable housing in South Africa and beyond.


“We are honored to be part of this important dialogue on how innovative building technologies can transform human settlements. Moladi’s mission has always been to provide dignified, cost-effective housing solutions that empower communities and uplift lives,” said Hennie Botes, founder of Moladi.


With its innovative construction system, Moladi demonstrates unmatched scalability: 1 mold builds 1 house in 1 day, while 100 molds build 100 houses in the same time. This unique capacity empowers communities to rapidly address housing shortages, creating dignified homes at speed and scale. By simplifying the building process, Moladi is not only delivering affordable housing but also empowering people to help themselves—transforming lives through self-reliance and sustainable development.


At the exhibition, Moladi will demonstrate how its unique formwork system streamlines construction, reduces costs, and accelerates delivery timelines, making it a practical solution for governments, developers, and communities striving to meet housing demand.
