Our Journey

Our Journey

From our founding in 2004 through the merger of Murray & Roberts RUC and The Cementation Company (Africa), we have steadily built a legacy as one of Africa’s most respected underground mining contractors. For over two decades, we operated as Murray & Roberts Cementation – earning our reputation by safely executing some of the most complex and demanding underground projects across the continent.

In 2025, we entered a bold new chapter as Cementation Africa following our acquisition by a consortium led by Differential Capital. While our name has changed, our commitment to technical excellence, quality, safety and partnerships remains unchanged.
Through every challenge and opportunity, we have grown with our clients – evolving our systems, investing in our people, embracing innovation and expanding our footprint across the African mining landscape. From deep shaft sinking to cutting-edge digital integration, our journey is defined by safety, performance, resilience and continuous improvement.
Today, Cementation Africa stands as a proudly independent company with deep roots, a clear purpose and a sharp focus on shaping the future of underground mining in Africa. We continue to build on our legacy – one project at a time, safely and reliably.
