Our dream is a future where everyONE has access to technology

“I wanted to create a company that made a difference. It is about helping to build a better tomorrow for our beautiful country and its people.” – Siddika Osman

We are driven by the belief that technology opens doors to better futures on a continent brimming with potential.

And that applies to our people too. ONE Technologies is not only committed to offering access to quality tech at prices South Africans can afford, but to empowering those on our team, our internship programme and within our local communities through outreach programmes.

About

Proven track record

Ten years ago, in 2013, ONE Technologies CEO, Siddika Osman, and COO, Sagaren Kanniappen, broke away from the corporate world to create Nkgwete IT Solutions, providing and managing IT outsourced services and solutions.

Today Nkgwete, which means Champion, is a powerhouse, a majority black female owned Level 1 B-BBBEE Qualifying Small Enterprise, with a national presence, and a reputation for integrity, delivery and exceptional service to some of South Africa’s best known brands.

About

Empowerment employer

When Siddika Osman entered the ICT space three decades ago, she was the lone woman in a room of men who saw her as a token appointment.

Today she is a committed advocate for gender empowerment and creating opportunity within her industry, through her work force, the internship program and community outreach programme, actively promoting STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects and opportunities within the IT sector.

Employer of choice

We are proud to be deemed an employer of choice. We believe in hiring the right people to carry our values and ethics into every corner of the business and those of our clients, putting personal service back into the technology industry and building long, productive, sustainable relationships with clients.

Championing opportunities for young South Africans

The Nkgwete Foundation strives to uplift South Africans, particularly young women, and to promote opportunity and equality for our South African youth.

Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those around gender empowerment, it led to a partnership with banking giant, FNB, Tshwane University of Technology and local schools to promote STEM subjects and opportunities with promising young female students.
