For the last eight years Mweb Africa has been
pioneering developments in the communications
sector, and has grown into the top internet
services provider (ISP) not just in South Africa,
but also in all of the sub-Saharan continent.
Mweb prides itself on delivering premium,
reliable internet products and services to its
clients and businesses, especially the small
and medium-sized business segment. The company’s
benefit-driven solutions are aimed at ensuring
the internet adds value to business processes
and enhances the consumer’s ability to
communicate, access information and make transactions.
The firm’s CEO Kim Reid confirms,
“As the internet grows in South Africa
and in Africa, Mweb will evolve from a company
that primarily provides connectivity into one
that provides both connectivity and more value-added
applications like search engines, e-commerce,
instant messaging, etc. We want to become the
Yahoo of Africa.”
The company has various divisions, which include
a joint venture with its sister company Media24,
a B2B and e-commerce business called CommerceZone,
and a mobile division which delivers content
to GSM mobile phones. Mweb is also on the verge
of delivering DVB-H service to its clients,
a new technology which broadcasts content to
a mobile phone. Meanwhile, the business branch
is responsible for internet, application and
content services, web development, e-commerce,
e-procurement and consultancy, and has connected
more than 75,000 clients.
