Bosch Stemele and Bosch Projects Agricultural
capabilities consolidate
In order to increase operational efficiencies, Bosch
Projects and Bosch Stemele Agricultural capabilities have
consolidated into a single business unit under the Bosch
Stemele banner. The consolidation of these units was
approved by both companies’ Boards and will be known as
the Agriculture and Water Resources Division.
The focus of the new business unit is to provide a unified
division to drive growth within the Agriculture and Irrigation
sector both locally and internationally.
The consolidation means that Andy Church and Associate
Consultants; Mike Boast, Fred Davel and Peter Braithewaite
have transferred from Bosch Projects to Bosch Stemele with
Andy Church assuming the position of Divisional Manager.
Andy Knox is the Divisional Director.
“We are confident that the newly formed Agriculture and Water
Resources Division will provide new impetus and continue to
benefit from the synergy associated with the support of all
Bosch Holdings’ companies,” said Knox.

Bosch Munitech extends leak detection and repair
services to Msunduzi Local Municipality
In October 2013, Bosch Munitech cemented its position
as the pre-eminent leak detection and repair contractor in
KwaZulu-Natal with the award of its latest leak detection
contract for Msunduzi Local Municipality.
After six years of hands-on experience in this very specialised
field, the results, five months into the project, reflect the value
and necessity of leak detection contracts as a tool to combat
real water losses.
The original scope of service comprises in excess of
5 000 km of reticulation pipe, which was surveyed and this was
augmented by some 4 400 km of survey work in February
Siyabonga Dlani and Refilwe Moadi with pipe locating equipment
2014 with the extension of services into the Vulindlela area.
The contract currently utilises a complement of 9 leak
detection teams in the field on a daily basis.
Significantly, the project has generated 14 jobs within the local
community for the duration of the contract.
Proactive leak detection and repair preserves our water
resources, eliminates significant costs and revenue losses for
the municipality and contributes towards job creation and
skills development.
