About the business

           Hoets and Associates was founded in 1997 in King William’s Town, South Africa in the early days of ICT.  God’s hand was on the business from the beginning.  PCs were also in great demand at this time and the start-up grew quickly. Hardware and Software Sales and Consulting Services became the backbone of our business. Our clientele included established schools and local businesses.

            Strong problem solving skills coming from a post-graduate university background in Mathematical Statistics (as well as Computer Science and Accounting) from the University of Cape Town proved to be a plus and opened doors to new business opportunities.

            In 2003, Hoets and Associates relocated to East London.  Clients in the surrounding areas are still serviced. However, our main service area shifted to East London. The move brought in new clients and the business grew a lot at this time.
In 2025, Hoets and Associates relocated to Port Alfred and is currently servicing this area.

          Over time, as the ICT industry has begun to mature, we have shifted our focus from traditional IT services and specialised in quality Data and Development services. This has allowed us to broaden our target market from local to international.

Sole Proprietor, Port Alfred, South Africa

A natural enthusiasm toward electronics has fuelled the growth of the laptop board repair service. Regularly watching laptop repair specialists, especially Sorin from the United Kingdom, hones and enhances my laptop repair skills and knowledge.

Laptop specialist

Website development has always been of an interest to me, especially as it is the modern and effective way to propagate the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ among the nations, having also founded an apostolic network throughout many nations.

I have worked with diverse platforms and various hosting companies, local and overseas, for many years.

our values

We are realistic and do not cut corners. Our word is good. We know our limitations. If your specific ICT need is outside our expertise, we will rather refer you someone who can help you than to give you poor service

We have an unusually open approach with our clients. We are also clear as to the rates which are applicable. No hidden agenda. No hidden costs.

A careful approach, tempered by experience and skill, brings consistency to our solutions.  We are available, and  responsive.

We hold fast to old-time values and one of them is loyalty. You can depend on us to take ownership of your ICT and to keep downtime to a minimum.
