Our Little History
GJS Electrical is more than just an electrical contracting company—it’s a story of resilience, growth, and dedication to quality.
Founded by Gershom Jacobs during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, GJS Electrical began as a one-man operation. When the company he worked for couldn’t survive the lockdown, Gershom’s strong work ethic and reputation for excellence led clients to seek him out directly. What started as a solo effort quickly grew into a trusted name in the industry.
Today, GJS Electrical is a team of twenty skilled professionals, delivering high-quality electrical solutions across South Africa. We specialize in providing reliable, efficient, and professional service, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards.
Beyond our work, we are passionate about empowering our community by creating opportunities for previously disadvantaged individuals. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to integrity, professionalism, and excellence in everything we do.
At GJS Electrical, we don’t just power buildings—we build lasting connections.
