BRAND HERITAGE

2006
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
From having gained a wealth of experience working in the IT sector, Riaan Venter and Etienne Tredoux felt there was a lack of value delivered by telecoms companies. Leading them to found uThetha Telecoms. With the sole mission to inject IT skills and principles into the telecommunications industry.
2010
BUILDING THE RIGHT TEAM
Throughout our growth, we were looking to surround ourselves with people whose ambition and values aligned with uThetha, which led us to Darren Friedman. Having a wealth of experience and the type of drive and skills we knew would make us excel. In 2014, Darren became a director at uThetha.
2012
A MOVE FOR IMPROVEMENT
With a growing team and client base, it became a necessity to find a Head Office outside of Pinelands that could accommodate our team and what they needed to perform, as well as getting us closer to our customers. We found the right choice in Goodwood, which is where we are still located.
2019
NATIONAL GROWTH
uThetha decided it was time to establish a national footprint. Growing into Gauteng was an important step, allowing us to extend our business offerings on a local level. Enabling us to provide in-person support.
2019
STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
Continuing our mission to inject IT skills and principles into the industry we brought Darryl Moses onboard who had an incredible depth of IT knowledge and expertise. After having a big impact with how we navigate and developed our products and services to refine our business offerings, he became a Director in 2020.
2021
A PIVOTAL CHANGE
Undergoing changes occurring internally and externally, we felt the need to evaluate ourselves and the market. Navigating the rapid change in digitisation and what businesses now needed, forced us to pivot. Evaluating what products and services best serve businesses, as well as how we would deliver these.
2022
CHARTING A FUTURE
Having new key processes in place and innovative offerings, whilst understanding our why; ‘By unlocking the potential in our partners, we leave a positive impact on all the communities we collectively support’. Led us to rebranding to TRUENAV, which aligns with the value we are looking to deliver.
