Who We Are

Two Decades at the
Edge of Enterprise Technology

Africom Group was founded in Johannesburg in 2010 by five integration specialists who had spent years solving the hard systems problems at Africa's largest organisations. Our conviction from day one: organisations across Africa and the Middle East deserve a technology partner that understands their environment, speaks plainly, and delivers work that holds.

Our Story

Africom Group was founded in Johannesburg by practitioners who had spent years solving the integration problems that determine whether technology investments succeed or fail. We are not a generalist IT firm — we are specialists in enterprise architecture, systems integration, AI, cloud, and digital transformation, with a track record that spans Africa and the Middle East.

Over more than 20 years, we have delivered frameworks and solutions across Africa and the Middle East — MTN Nigeria, Eskom, Standard Bank, Old Mutual, Liberty Health, Union Bank of Nigeria, Ecobank, Boubyan Bank Kuwait, Agribank Namibia, Qatar Investment Authority, Oman L&G, and Batelco Bahrain. Our portfolio spans Oracle SOA and middleware integration, enterprise service frameworks, API governance, and AI-led digital transformation.

Today, we're a different kind of firm. We work across four disciplines — Enterprise Architecture, AI & Data, Cloud & Infrastructure, and Digital Transformation — at the intersection of all of them. We do not just implement tools; we design the systems that make them work together at scale, and we leave the client's team owning the result.

Our Values

  • Integrity first: We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.
  • Knowledge transfer: Every engagement builds internal capability, not dependency.
  • Africa-relevant: Our solutions are designed for the real-world constraints of our markets.
  • Outcomes over outputs: We measure success by business impact, not deliverables.

Leadership

Led by a Practitioner

Africom Group is led by its founder, not a professional manager. That distinction shapes how every engagement is run.

Tumelo Mametsa — Founder & CEO

Enterprise Architect and AI Strategy Lead with over 20 years of hands-on delivery experience across South Africa, Nigeria, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and Namibia. Started his career at Telkom in 2001 and has since led enterprise architecture and integration programmes for MTN Nigeria, Eskom, Standard Bank, Old Mutual, Liberty Health, and Union Bank of Nigeria, among others.

Our Consultant Network

A deliberately senior-weighted network of specialist consultants across Oracle, Azure, AWS, MuleSoft, Databricks, and enterprise data architecture. The people you meet in a proposal are the people who do the work. We do not bring in juniors once the engagement starts.

How We Work

We keep the core team lean and specialist — lower overhead, higher quality, no dilution as engagements scale. Where we need additional depth, we draw on a network of trusted partners who have worked with us across multiple engagements and operate to the same standard.

Every engagement is structured around knowledge transfer. The goal is that your team owns the outcome when we leave — not that they need us back to keep things running. That is the measure of a successful engagement.
