HERITAGE
Over 100 years of experience and service (1888 – 1996)
Msele Hosken has a proud heritage dating back over a century to 1888, when we began life as William Hosken & Company to take advantage of the tremendous commercial opportunities afforded by the discovery of the Witwatersrand Gold Fields.
Today, as part of the Thebe Group, and with the resources of Price Forbes at our disposal, we are able to offer a comprehensive service to our clients.
This unique position guarantees that our clients receive professional advice and first class security whilst satisfying their need to commit to Black Economic Empowerment.
