André's Story
What started as a passion for understanding the earth beneath our feet has grown into a mission to bring water and solutions to communities across the Garden Route and Karoo.
André founded Karua Drilling with a simple belief: every property owner deserves access to reliable water sources, delivered with honesty, expertise, and fair pricing. Growing up in the Western Cape, he witnessed firsthand the challenges that farmers and homeowners faced during droughts—and he knew he could make a difference.
After more than two decades working in drilling operations across Southern Africa, André brought his expertise back home. Today, he personally oversees every project, ensuring that the same passion and precision that built his reputation continues to define Karua Drilling.
“I don’t just drill boreholes—I help families secure their water independence. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client’s face when water flows for the first time.”
— André, Founder
