ICT Leadership Rooted in Integrity, Discipline, and Partnership.
Maimele Consulting is a premier 100% black-owned and black-managed South African management consultancy specializing in enterprise ICT project delivery, Project Management Office (PMO) governance, and advanced cyber security professional services.
Headquartered in Centurion, Gauteng, Maimele Group was founded by a seasoned programme management executive, Reuben Modiba, to solve an acute market dilemma: South African commercial enterprises and public entities allocating substantial budgets to digital technology, and experiencing persistent implementation deficit preventing those investments from realizing their full potential.
