IT services company Gijima says it is committed to maintaining the continuity and sustainability of South Africa’s railway economy despite state-owned freight transport and logistics company Transnet’s persistent efforts to sever relations.

Transnet is currently appealing a recent Gauteng North High Court ruling which dismissed its urgent application to compel Gijima to complete critical data migration and disengagement work following the expiry of a R1.5 billion contract.

Transnet had sought a ruling directing Gijima to complete all disengagement services, take all steps necessary to migrate data centre services to itself and to interdict the IT company from “engaging in any conduct that disrupts or interrupts the provision of services”.
