Amidel has announced the official opening of its new KwaZulu-Natal branch, located in Richards Bay. This strategic expansion marks a major milestone in Amidel’s commitment to using technology-driven growth to stimulate job creation, uplift local communities and help position South Africa as a leading tech hub.
“Opening this branch is part of our journey to reduce unemployment in the country using technology job creation,” says Bheki Ndabandaba, Chief Executive Officer of Amidel. “The demand for technology services and solutions has increased dramatically over the past two decades, and with the rise of AI, this growth trajectory will continue for many decades to come. We believe South Africa and the rest of Africa can follow the path of countries such as India, by harnessing this demand to cultivate a thriving, sustainable tech job-creation ecosystem.”
Local impact, global reach
By establishing a presence in KZN, Amidel aims to recruit local talent from nearby tertiary institutions, offering meaningful employment opportunities beyond traditional economic centres such as Johannesburg or Cape Town. Staff at the new Richards Bay office may support projects for clients located anywhere in South Africa – or even internationally – ensuring that location is no barrier to joining the tech economy.
“Our model allows us to create jobs wherever there is connectivity, not only where resources or infrastructure have traditionally been concentrated,” adds Ndabandaba. “We are starting this process in KwaZulu-Natal, with plans to roll out additional branches in other provinces in the near future.”
