Cathel Tech

The start of CATHEL TECH (Cathrine Elmon Technologies(PTY)LTD) began after the founder(Mr Golden Tshegofatso Komane) realised that the is a gap in the technology industry in townships, particularly our township, Soshanguve. Mal-pricing and quality were the driving factors of founding CATHEL TECH. The combination of the names come from the names of the founder’s parents, namely Cathrine(CATH)+ Elmon (El) which shortened spells, CATHEL. We landed our first clients in that year. They were (amongst others) Commodities In Motion and Abso Cargo, both in the transport industry. Our focus was solemnly the creation of websites for our clients. We moved from 3 clients to 20 clients just in one year alone. Due to an increase in the demand for graphics and digital marketing services, we decided to introduce new services connected to tech. That led to subsidiaries being created to deal with branding and digital marketing. This is also the year that Mr Shikunzi Abu’BAKAR joined the company first as a sales agent, then moved to the position of finance and client services. 2016 This year marked a milestone. We earned international recognition after servicing a giant client based in LESOTHO. Our clientele grew so much that we were scattered and found ourselves servicing people in different industries. We serviced clients from industries such as finance, transport, non-profits, academics, entertainment, food, auditing firms, maintenance, construction and many more. 2017 Looking back, since 2014 we have served more than 130 companies in and outside of the borders of South Africa. When we started, we were only developing websites but recently, we have grown to be able to provide all-round tech services. From web development, hosting, domain registration, digital marketing and corporate identity services. We might have not grown as anticipated monetarily but the reinvestment strategy worked and is thus evident that we can grow even further
