OUR STORY
At THUSA Holdings, we began our journey in South Africa’s staffing industry with a strong focus on oil and gas. Driven by a commitment to excellence and opportunity, we expanded to the United States, providing top-tier staffing solutions in oil, gas, construction, and healthcare. As our network and passion for South African culture grew, so did our vision.
What sets us apart? We’re more than a staffing company—we’re a bridge between continents, careers, and cultures. From placing skilled professionals in critical roles to launching a retail venture that brings authentic South African biltong, droëwors, chilli sticks, and beloved beverages to international markets, we combine industry-specific recruitment excellence with cultural pride and connection.
MAKING AN IMPACT
Our proudest achievement is building a cross-continental company that connects people with meaningful employment whilst connecting cultures through the foods and flavours of home. From successfully placing hundreds of professionals in critical roles to launching a retail brand that brings South African products to American shelves, we’ve proven our work impacts lives in multiple ways.
This growth has created a powerful ripple effect, helping reduce unemployment in South Africa, supporting skills development, and elevating the global reputation of South African professionals. By importing beloved local products, we’ve supported small businesses back home whilst giving the diaspora access to authentic, proudly made goods.
the lekker connection
We were drawn to The Lekker Network because it aligns perfectly with our values, celebrating South African culture, supporting local businesses, and building meaningful global connections.
As a company with deep roots in South Africa and growing international presence, we saw this as a vibrant platform to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and uplift others in the diaspora.
Being part of this community reflects our core values of community, cultural pride, collaboration, and global opportunity. Like The Lekker Network, we’re passionate about uplifting South African talent and showcasing our cultural richness on the global stage.
