Entelect Awarded Level 1 B-BBEE Status

JOHANNESBURG, 15 January 2025 – This achievement goes beyond compliance, demonstrating the company’s dedication to meaningful economic empowerment in South Africa.

Entelect is proud to announce they have achieved B-BBEE level 1 status, reaching a pivotal milestone in their commitment to transformation. This achievement goes beyond compliance, demonstrating the company’s dedication to meaningful economic empowerment in South Africa.

“This is a fantastic achievement demonstrating our commitment to the transformation and inclusion agendas. We are proud to play our part in investing in talent and creating opportunities that uplift communities and strengthen our economy,” says Shashi Hansjee, CEO.

Entelect’s certification reflects their substantial investment in South Africa’s software industry. Their transformation initiatives maintain a strong focus on skills development and socio-economic development. Through the Entelect Foundation, their group of NPO charities and social development enterprises, the company drives sustainable change by providing access to quality education for 150 families, tertiary education study grants, and delivering grassroots training programs that empower previously disadvantaged groups to build careers in technology.

The company’s commitment to transformation is equally evident in their internal practices. Their graduate programme contributes to building a workforce that truly represents South Africa’s population, with 58% of the 2025 intake coming from African, Indian, and Coloured demographics. Entelect places strong emphasis on supporting and training potential leaders from previously disadvantaged groups, preparing them for management roles. The benefits of these investments continue to grow each year, as reflected in the increasing diversity of their management representation.
