Leadership That Keeps The Exchange Practical
Thabo Johannes Mokoena, Managing Director, guides the business with a clear focus on practical value for quarries and mines. Since 2012, he has shaped a service that helps clients list surplus parts, find usable stock faster and reduce waste in the supply chain. He keeps the operation grounded in the realities of South African production, where a missed delivery can mean a full shift lost.
Thabo works closely with the team on pricing, exchange decisions and the standards we apply to every item that comes through the yard. His approach is steady and direct, with an eye on condition, timing and what will actually help a site get back to work.
- Guides the overall exchange model and client priorities
- Supports fair decision-making on surplus, scrap and exchange value
- Focuses on practical outcomes for shutdown work and urgent sourcing
Operations And Yard Control In Middelburg
Lerato Maseko, Operations Manager, keeps the day-to-day work moving at the Middelburg base. She coordinates incoming spares, work orders and the flow between inspection, storage and delivery so parts do not sit idle any longer than necessary. Her attention to timing matters especially during shutdown periods, when every hour counts.
Johan Steenkamp, Yard and Storage Controller, manages how stock is received, marked, stored and released from the yard. He keeps pallets, cages and heavy components organised for safe handling, and makes sure the storage layout works even when the yard is full. In dusty conditions, high heat and winter cold, that control helps prevent damage and confusion.
- Receipting and yard movement control
- Safe storage for heavy crusher spares
- Orderly release for collections and deliveries
Inspection And Condition Reporting You Can Trust
Sibusiso Ndlovu, Inspection Coordinator, leads the checking process for surplus crusher spares before they are listed or exchanged. He looks at wear, visible damage, fitment points and the general condition of each part, then records what clients need to know before a decision is made. That level of detail helps quarries avoid expensive mistakes.
His work is especially useful for sites that need a second-hand part but still need confidence in how it will perform. Sibusiso keeps the reports practical and clear, with no fluff and no guessing.
- Visual inspections and fitment checks
- Condition notes for resale or exchange
- Support for shutdown sourcing and urgent spares search
Sales Support With Straight Answers
Anika van Zyl, Sales and Exchange Lead, helps clients match available stock with current needs across quarries and mines. She works on surplus listings, exchange offers and consignment sales, making sure the right questions are asked early so fewer parts are left unused. Her role suits the pace of the industry, where a clear answer is often worth more than a long discussion.
Anika also helps clients compare whether a part should be held, exchanged or written off as scrap. That kind of guidance supports cost control, especially for operations in Rustenburg, eMalahleni and the wider Mpumalanga belt where turnaround times matter.
- Matches surplus spares to active requirements
- Supports consignment sales and exchange pricing
- Assists with scrap vs exchange decisions
Logistics And Delivery Across South Africa
Mpho Rakoma, Logistics Supervisor, plans collections and deliveries from Middelburg to clients in eMalahleni, Polokwane, Kathu, Pietermaritzburg and beyond. He manages route planning, loading and delivery timing so that heavy parts arrive in usable condition and on schedule. This is important when road conditions, long distances and load-shedding can all affect a site’s plans.
Mpho also works closely with yard staff on palletising and packing, making sure parts are secured properly for transport. Good packing is not a small detail when a component has to travel from a mine yard to a quarry site hundreds of kilometres away.
Client Support For Ongoing Quarry Needs
Nokuthula Dlamini, Client Support Manager, is often the point of contact for clients who need updates, clarity or help tracking a request. She keeps communication organised for quarries and mines that may be dealing with multiple spares at once, and she follows through until the matter is closed properly. Her support is especially valuable when a site is balancing maintenance work with production pressure.
She understands that clients want a practical process: list the part, inspect it, store it if needed, then move it where it can be used. That is the kind of service that keeps the exchange useful rather than complicated.
- Progress updates on listings and exchange requests
- Support for local collections and nationwide delivery
- Clear coordination for multi-part requests
Why The Team Matters To South African Quarries
Every person at Crusher Spare Exchange plays a specific role, and that is what makes the service work well for the quarrying sector. From Middelburg Yard to the eMalahleni, Rustenburg, Polokwane, Kathu and Pietermaritzburg regions, the team handles surplus spares with the same aim: keep useful parts in circulation and reduce unnecessary spend.
Because the work happens in real operating conditions, the team understands moisture near the coast, dust at inland sites, municipal access rules and the pressure that comes with shutdown schedules. The result is a service built around practical use, not empty promises.
