About Us

Waypoint Engineering traces its roots back to Veldkon Engineering, a family-owned business founded by T.H. Botha in 1971. For over three decades, Veldkon earned a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and commitment to the South African mining and engineering sectors.

In response to significant legislative changes in 2004, Waypoint Engineering was formed as a continuation and evolution of Veldkon. The new entity retained the original premises, equipment, and most of the skilled staff, ensuring a seamless transition. PP Sekabate—who had been with Veldkon since its early days—became co-owner alongside JW Botha, bringing deep experience and continuity into the new venture.

Today, Waypoint Engineering is proudly a Level 4 B-BBEE certified company, trusted by clients across the mining and industrial sectors. The company is driven by a dynamic leadership team:

Marius Lamprecht – Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

PP Sekabate – Chief Operating Officer (COO) / Managing Director (MD)

Rika Lamprecht – Chief Financial Officer (CFO) /  Financial Director (FD)

Jaco Botha – General Manager / Director

“The honey badger is – in short – a stout and fearless creature who suffers from a severe case of megalomania. This species is, however well-deserving of its title of “World’s Most Fearless Creature” , bestowed upon it by the Guinness World Records.

Any creature that can sleep off the deadly neuro-toxic cocktail of venom from a cobra and confidently waltz into the middle of a lion pride without batting an eyelid, deserves this title.”
