For over 40 years, Current Connections has been the trusted name in electrical contracting across South Africa. We're a family business that treats every project — big or small — with the same commitment to quality.
Founder
Dave started his electrical journey in South Africa in 1972 when he was brought over by Anglo to work as a junior electrical engineer on the mines. He worked with Anglo and later with Iscor before leaving the mining industry to work alongside his Father in Law at a newly formed organisation which was to conduct meter reading within the greater Johannesburg area, later moving nationally. Dave worked with this company until he was promoted to managing director, where he led the company until 2003, running the main utility department and managing the electricians within the business.
He opened what would become Current Connections in 2008 where, with his extensive knowledge of the utility management industry and an already trusted name in the utility and electrical industry, he built the business and with it a customer base that knew they were in trusted hands. Now with over five decades in the electrical and utility management industry, Dave has shaped the way Current Connections approaches every project — practical, honest and engineered to last.
Dave's commitment to honest advice and quality workmanship has been the foundation of the business since day one. He built Current Connections on a simple rule that still guides the team: tell the client what they need, do the job properly, and stand behind it. It's the reason so many of our clients have been with us for decades.
These days Dave is less visible on site, but he remains involved in the background — advising on complex metering and utility projects, guiding the team, and keeping an eye on the standard of every job that leaves the workshop.
Current Connections was built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and an uncompromising commitment to quality workmanship. For more than four decades, we have served clients across South Africa as a family-owned electrical contracting business, earning our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
Starting with a commitment to doing the job right, treating people fairly, and never cutting corners, we've deliberately kept our team small so we can focus on the details and the workmanship on every job. We're based in Johannesburg North, and we service clients across the country. We've adapted to changing technology — from basic electrical installations to sophisticated solar installations and utility management — without ever compromising on the values that define us.
Today, Current Connections is recognised as one of South Africa's most trusted electrical contractors. We're proud of the reputation we've built and grateful to the clients who have trusted us with their electrical needs — many of whom have been with us for decades.
How we actually work is simple: we inspect, we test, and we tell you the truth about what your installation needs — even when the truth is that you don't need us yet. We're registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, we carry full public liability insurance, and every job is done to SANS 10142-1 and issued with a Certificate of Compliance where one is required. We're ECA (SA) members, which means our workmanship and training are checked against the contractors' association's standards. And as Herholdt's Premium Partners, our main equipment supplier for solar installations is Herholdt's Group.
Every job, regardless of size, receives the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
We tell you what you need, not what we want to sell. Our reputation depends on your trust.
Full compliance with SANS 10142-1 and OHSA. We never compromise on safety standards.
We show up when we say we will, complete work on schedule, and stand behind every installation.
