Liquid Intelligent Technologies (www.Liquid.Tech/) South Africa, a business of Cassava Technologies, is proud to announce that it has achieved B-BBEE Level 1 status. Liquid Intelligent Technologies has been working to achieve this status since the company expanded operations in South Africa through the acquisition of Neotel in 2017.
Liquid is a prominent investor in the country’s critical telecommunications and technology sectors and embraces the true spirit of transformation through improved participation in the economy for previously disadvantaged groups.
According to Deon Geyser, CEO Liquid Intelligent Technologies SA, “This is an excellent achievement for us, which we don’t take lightly. We will continue providing all our stakeholders with the excellent service associated with our brand while we continue to participate in South Africa’s transformation agenda. As a leading technology player in the industry, we strongly support public and private partnerships to drive digital transformation in South Africa.”

Our top rating will not only help increase our overall competitiveness in the market but also ensure real economic empowerment for all members of the society.
