Chairman of OTT Solutions | 1 Oct 2014 – 8 Jun 2025
On 12 June 2025, a memorial service was held at Thaba Tshwane City Hall to honour the life and service of Lieutenant General (Retired) G.L. Ramano, esteemed Chairman of OTT Solutions and a revered military leader.
General Ramano served as Chairman of our Board of Directors from 1 October 2014 until his passing on 8 June 2025. Over more than a decade, he provided steadfast leadership, always guided by principle, humility, and a deep sense of duty.
Tributes were paid by family members, colleagues, and fellow military veterans. Among those who spoke in his honour were Major General (Ret) Lawrence Smith and General (Ret) S.Z. Shoke. Lieutenant General M. Ramantswana addressed the gathering on behalf of the Chief of the South African National Defence Force.
On Saturday, 14 June 2025, Gen Ramano was laid to rest with full military honours—an honour befitting a man who dedicated his life to serving his country and the people under his command.
Despite his high rank and accomplishments, Gen Ramano remained a humble man. His character and values left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of working with him. Under his guidance, OTT Solutions thrived, grounded in the integrity and vision he brought to our leadership.
We honour his memory, salute his service, and extend our deepest condolences to his family and all who mourn his passing.
Rest in peace, General. Your legacy lives on.
