About Minelab South Africa
Reivilo Technologies CC, trading as Minelab South Africa is the official and exclusive Distributor of the World’s Leading Minelab Metal Detector Brand in South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, and Lesotho. Minelab South Africa also has non-exclusive Minelab distribution rights in various other countries, this includes but is not limited to, Angola, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Gabon, Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Madagascar, Mauritius, and Seychelles.
The origins of Minelab South Africa can be traced back to 1999 when its founder, George Olivier, first established a business relationship with the Countermine Division of Minelab Australia. Initially, as a Sole Proprietor, he became involved in the supply and after-sales service of Countermine Detectors to various Humanitarian Demining Organisations, NGOs, Militaries, and Commercial Demining Companies.
Early in 2003, Reivilo Technologies CC was officially established. At the time, the company was not only involved with Countermine (Land mine/UXO/IED detection) but also specialised in Telecommunications, which included all the Satellite Systems and VHF & HF Long Distance Radio Communications. The Australian Codan HF Radio Systems were a considerable part of the communication business. In 2008, Codan would acquire Minelab and Minelab became a sister company of Codan Radio. Minelab was now part of the ASX-listed Codan Group of Companies.
Forward to 2008
Forward to 2008 and Minelab International requested Reivilo Technologies to also get involved in the Commercial side of the Minelab business, to expand the market and increase the Minelab sales in the Gold Detector and Treasure Detector products in South Africa. At the time there were two other Minelab Dealers in South Africa, Detectors 4 Africa and Astro Automation offering only the Minelab Gold Detector and Minelab Treasure Detector products.
February 2012
In February 2012, Minelab International signaled their intent to consolidate the Minelab Metal Detector business in South Africa under a main Minelab Metal Detector Distributor with a Minelab Metal Detector Dealer Network. A process followed and in January 2013 Reivilo Technologies was officially appointed as the Minelab Metal Detector Distributor and tasked to develop the Minelab Metal Detector market in the Region in a cohesive way. Reivilo Technologies CC could now officially trade as Minelab South Africa.

Publicly floated in 2003, Codan acquired Minelab Electronics in 2008, developer of the world’s best hand-held metal detection technology.
This highly successful acquisition was followed by the additions of Minetec and Daniels Electronics to the Codan Group in 2012, cementing our world-class product offerings in Communications, Metal Detection and Tracking Solutions.
