What we build

Nine lines,
one contract

Most clients start with one and add others. When the network, the application and the hosting sit with one supplier, there is nobody to point at when something stops working — including us. Select any line to see what it covers.

Infrastructure first. Then intelligence.

Digital tools cannot optimise a network too weak to carry the load. We strengthen the physical layer first, then add capability in phases. It is a slower pitch and a better outcome.

Flagship programme

15 million
journeys a day

Since 2021 we have delivered turn-key ICT infrastructure for the South African National Taxi Council. The minibus taxi industry carries more South Africans than every other public transport mode combined, and runs on records that live in a person's head. Fix the records and the industry becomes bankable — an infrastructure problem before it is a fintech one.

Common questions

What buyers
usually ask

Where in South Africa does TIDNIC deliver?
TIDNIC delivers nationally, with active work in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo. The head office is at 30 Kerk Street, Kempton Park, Gauteng, fifteen minutes from OR Tambo International. Field teams travel to site for installation, survey and maintenance work.
Is TIDNIC B-BBEE compliant and black-owned?
Yes. TIDNIC is 100% black-owned and B-BBEE compliant. The company was founded by Thulani Cindi in 2009, registered in 2010 and converted to a private company in 2012. A current B-BBEE certificate, tax clearance and company registration documents are available on request for tender submission and vendor onboarding.
Is the training accredited?
Yes. Vocational programmes are delivered in partnership with the QCTO (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations), using registered facilitators and assessors. Programmes cover technical facilitation and assessment, systems training and change management, digital literacy, and emerging streams in cloud administration, security operations and applied AI.
Where is hosted data stored?
In South Africa. Data residency matters increasingly for public-sector and POPIA-sensitive workloads, and the National Data and Cloud Policy requires domestic storage for certain categories of data. TIDNIC offers domains, business email, shared and managed hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated servers and colocation, with scheduled off-site backup and tested restore procedures.
Can TIDNIC take on a single service, or is it all or nothing?
Either. Most clients start with one of the nine service lines and add others over time. The advantage of combining them is accountability: when the network, the application and the hosting sit with one supplier, there is a single party responsible when something stops working.
Does TIDNIC hold a telecommunications licence?
An ICASA Electronic Communications Network Service (ECNS) licence application is in progress. On approval, TIDNIC will deploy proprietary network infrastructure and sell services directly rather than solely as an implementation partner to other licensees. Current network delivery is carried out as an implementation and support partner.
What is the SANTACO programme?
Since 2021 TIDNIC has delivered turn-key ICT infrastructure for the South African National Taxi Council — rank connectivity, surveillance, aerial site survey, fleet telematics, cashless fare integration, membership systems, hosting and field support. The purpose is commercial formalisation: reliable operational and financial records are the precondition for the industry’s access to vehicle finance, insurance and business funding.
