Gijima legal woes continue: report
Gijima is facing R3.3 million lawsuit from Isiqina Property Holdings for the non-payment of goods and services. This is according to a report in the Sunday Independent.
The report stated that Gijima is blaming rogue employees for not paying. It also said that the company does not have the right to bring this action against Gijima.
Gijima said in court papers that Isiqina Property Holdings ceded its R7 million claim to Sizwe Cabling, which is also suing the company.
This report follows other legal battles, including a dispute with Anderson Scanning Technologies (AST).
Gijima was facing a R184 million damage claim by AST who was axed by Gijima from a contract to digitise the records in South Africa’s deeds offices.
In March 2014 Gijima CEO, Eileen Wilton said that the listed ICT service provider is six months into a three year turnaround strategy.
Gijima reported a decline in revenue from continuing operations to R741 million, from R911 million in 2012; however, the group narrowed its operating loss to R17.7 million, from R123 million before.
