THE BONISWA GROUP WAS FOUNDED IN 2004 BY LYNETTE MAGASA.

Her self-belief in her entrepreneurship abilities, combined with her ongoing commitment to education and determination to succeed in the telecoms sector, drove her to establish Boniswa Corporate Solutions.

The name Boniswa encapsulates everything the organisation stands for, as well as the fundamental principles upon which this singularly successful company was founded. Boniswa, the Siswati interpretation of the English word ‘Vision,’ encapsulates the foresight and strategic intent which has supported the company’s foundation since its inception. It is the match, in turn, that strikes with energy into the future, illuminating the visionary path for Boniswa’s excellence.

Over the next 15 years, Lynette’s perseverance in the engineering and information technology sectors propelled the company from a start-up to an internationally recognised organisation employing over 200 people.

Over the years, Boniswa has served a number of blue chip companies, including a number of leading and highly regarded international companies that are regarded as experts in their field. The success of the company is largely due to the team’s ongoing skill development, many of whom have been with the company since its inception.

Now part of the Boniswa Group are: Boniswa Corporate Solutions. Boniswa Manufacturing, and Boniswa Tower Colocation.
