A multi-disciplinary team of technicians, installers and business advisors — built to solve real problems under one roof.
Our Story
We started as unemployed youth. Now six divisions strong.

We established the Hub as an opportunity to change our own lives and create a positive impact in our community. Although attracting clients was difficult at first, we persisted and have since grown into a trusted name around Umlazi.

Hardware Assembly & Computer Services
Custom-built machines, precision upgrades and component-level repairs — assembled, tested and documented before they leave our bench.
What We Do
Built to your spec. Tested to our standard.

We also revive existing machines. An SSD and a RAM upgrade can add years to a laptop for a fraction of the cost of a replacement.

Solar Installation & Backup Power Systems
Stay powered through every outage and cut your electricity bill. Designed, installed, certified and maintained by our in-house energy team.
Free Energy Audit
We size the system to your actual consumption
What We Do
System design based on real data, not guesswork.
Most solar systems fail because they're sized by thumb-suck. We start with a proper energy audit — measuring what you actually consume, when you consume it and which loads must stay on during an outage. Only then do we design the system.

- Custom System DesignGrid-tie, hybrid or fully off-grid configurations.
- Solar Panel InstallationRoof-mounted or ground-mounted arrays with proper mounting hardware.
- Inverter & Battery InstallationHybrid inverters, lithium and lead-acid battery banks.

Digital Migration & TV Installation
Switch from analogue to digital without the confusion. We supply, install, align and configure everything — and make sure you're actually watching TV before we leave.
What We Do
Clear picture, every channel, no guesswork.

Common Questions
Digital migration, explained.
Do I need a new TV?
No. Any television with an HDMI or AV input will work — you just need a set-top box or decoder connected to it.
Why is my signal breaking up?
Usually dish misalignment, a failing LNB or corroded cable. We diagnose on-site and repair the actual cause.
How long does installation take?
A standard single-TV dish and decoder installation takes around 90 minutes to two hours.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All installation work carries a written warranty, and hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty.
Still on analogue? Let's fix that.
Book a technician and we'll have your digital signal up and running — usually the same day.
Cell Phone & Device Repair
Cracked screen? Dead battery? Water damage? Our technicians repair most devices same-day, using quality parts and offering a written warranty on every job.
