Early life and education
Khudusela Pitje was born to Hezekiah 'Mothibe' Pitje, the first Mayor of Mamelodi, who had previously been a kitchen boy and who was later a businessman who set up the first Post Office in Mamelodi and owned one of the first cinemas in the township.

In 2015, he invested in In2IT Technologies, a global technology services firm, acquiring a 24,5% stake in its South African arm.
In 2016, he doubled New GX's net asset value by receiving a R250 million investment from Vantage Capital based on a fast-growing fibre and telecoms infrastructure that empowered townships such as Attridgeville & Mamelodi through Dark Fibre Africa - Vantage Capital successfully exited this investment in 2018.
In 2017, Remgro owned 51.9% of New GX Capital.
Khudusela is a shareholder in CIVH, which is the parent company of Vumatel and Dark Fibre Africa — subsidiary businesses of Masiv Proprietary Limited. Airnergize Capital Fund, a collaboration between New GX Capital (a diversified investment company) and RMB Ventures, has pledged to scale sustainable solutions at a final close of R4 billion (approximately $200 million) in 2025 to build a leading tech platform under the New GX umbrella to support South Africa's shift toward a low-carbon economy. New GX Capital, co-controlling with Remgro, which is a part of CIVH, has over 16 years' experience in the South African telecommunications sector. Green Climate Ventures asset portfolio is focused on clean energy and digital infrastructure assets with a portfolio exposure with a leading brand in its sector called Sustainable Power Solutions.
