Bonga Masoka

Founder / Director

Bonga began his painting career with training in graphic design and painting at Central Johannesburg College in 2006. He then pursued undergraduate studies in Public Policy and Politics at the University of Cape Town. During his first year at university, he started his entrepreneurial journey by founding and directing a social enterprise focused on Early Childhood Development. After earning his degree in 2014, he returned to Johannesburg to join a family business in agri-tech, green energy, and environmental rehabilitation of mining lands before establishing Splash Coatings Africa in 2017.

Splash Coatings Africa's journey mirrors that of many growth-oriented garage sized startups. The company evolved from reselling single buckets of paint and servicing small four-roomed and RDP houses to manufacturing the products in a sizeable factory and expanding its market to reach asset owners such as Growthpoint and Burstone.
