The word ‘Umumo’ is derived from the Zulu idiom “simi ngomumo”, which loosely translated means, “we are ready”. After acquiring extensive mining knowledge and experience across various commodities in the mining sector, Jabulani Mhlongo decided that he was ready to venture into business. As a founding member, he identified a gap in the market for a mining services company owned by a black mining engineer professional with a deep passion for and understanding of the mining sector. In 2015, Umumo Mining Services was born. From its inception, the business was built on strong foundations of consulting, project management, mine planning, mine management, and general management expertise, enabling Umumo Mining Services to evolve into the fully-fledged entity it is today.
