IT with Heart, Hustle & Expertise
The Story Of Gavotech
Gavotech wasn’t born from a textbook or a boardroom it was built from passion, grit, and a deep belief in people. Gavin Nortje, a self-taught tech enthusiast, started Gavotech after discovering early in life that technology offered something the world often didn’t:
a place to belong, a way to solve problems, and the power to help others.
With no formal tertiary education, Gavin grew Gavotech from humble beginnings into an award-winning Managed Service Provider (MSP) and cybersecurity partner, trusted by businesses across South Africa. What set it apart from day one was clear: do right by people, deliver excellent service, and never settle for shortcuts.
Today, Gavotech is known for delivering IT and cybersecurity that just works — so clients can focus on running their businesses with confidence.

We’re here to bring clarity, security, and peace of mind to businesses that are tired of putting out IT fires.
Built from Passion, Not Just Business
Gavotech wasn’t born in a corporate office—it was built from grit, passion, and the belief that technology should empower, not frustrate. Founder Gavin Nortje started Gavotech as a self-taught tech enthusiast, proving that dedication, not just degrees, defines success.
