South African Information and Telecommunications company Gijima announced today that currently CEO Jonas Bogoshi would be stepping down from his post on 31 December.
“The Gijima Board wishes to announce the resignation of the chief executive officer of Gijima, Mr Jonas Bogoshi, effective 31 December 2012. While there will be a formal handover period of three months, the board would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Bogoshi for his hard work over the past five years and wishes him well in his pursuit of new endeavours,” Gijima said in a statement.
Coinciding with the announcement of Bogoshi resignation, Gijima posted a decline in revenue for the last year from R2.56 billion in 2011 to R2.53 billion as at the end of 30 June 2012. Share in the company also fell by 5.28 cents to 21.76 cents.
But the company has a plan in place for future growth. “New generation services in the areas of mobility and cloud are starting to bear fruit. Gijima’s mobility framework, which includes Mobile Device Management, application development along with the ability to integrate into existing legacy platforms is complete, and the market has begun to show good interest in the solutions,” it continued in the statement.
These new generation services will also provide useful impetus to Gijima’s traditional strength in the infrastructure space. Despite the challenges in the 2012 financial year, management is confident that the remedial actions taken have positioned the company for an improved performance,” Gijima concluded.
