Tshelopele now boasts a couple of new tenders, one of which is with the Department of Science and Technology (DST).  After being shortlisted from a large number of other companies, they have been contracted to design the Scientific and Technological Activities (STA) web site in Open Source and link it to the DST web site.

Another major deal was won with the Umsobomvu Youth Fund for a three year branding campaign.

Furthermore, TshelopeleIT Solutions was also invited to access the Indian Engineering and Technology Market by means of attending the International Engineering and Technology Fair (IETF) on 23 – 26 February 2009 in Bengaluru, India.  As one of the largest events of its kind in Asia, the Fair allows countries and companies to showcase their entrepreneurial and technological expertise, and build strategic partnerships and networks, benchmark themselves internationally, and market their brand presence in Asia.
