Building trust through excellence in energy solutions since 2012
Latita Energy is a B-BBEE Level 1 rated enterprise. We operate as a fully-fledged trading house, sourcing products globally and supporting major petroleum companies. As an experienced and licensed wholesale supplier of bulk transport and distribution of petroleum products and logistics services across Sub-Saharan Africa, we give our clients confidence and security in our service.

The Latita name is a Nguni word for "rising of the sun". The sun rose in 2012 when Thami Mjacu, entrepreneur and founder of Latita Energy, entered an industry sparse of African women. A decade later, with the help of her team, they have broken the glass ceiling.
