Gijima, a privately owned company headquartered in South Africa, employs approximately 3,190 individuals. It operates as a South African Information and Communications Technology (ICT) company, specializing in IT Services and IT Consulting.
On September 28, 2026, Gijima's CTO, Christo Abrahams, stated at the 20th annual GovTech 2026 event that the State IT Agency (SITA) identified major gaps needing address as it considers its role in South Africa's digital ecosystem, following a period of retrospection. This follows news from October 21, 2025, when Gijima received a "second vindication" after five years of uninterrupted service delivery to Transnet, stemming from a 2018 High Court order that awarded the IT Data Services contract to Gijima as the highest scoring bidder over T-Systems South Africa. Earlier, on April 22, 2025, Gijima partnered with Darkies in Tech (DIT) to empower young black tech talent in South Africa. In February 2025, Gijima and Nokia secured a business opportunity from the SKA Observatory (SKAO) to provide a comprehensive long-haul transmission network.
