Open Access Fibre Network
Located in the heart of Langa, a visionary initiative is breaking barriers and transforming lives. This is the story of Vusumzi Mqoboli and Nombuso Mqoboli, the founders of Zazi Tech Solutions, a computer centre born out of the desire to bridge the digital divide in disadvantaged communities.
This is not just a computer training program; it’s a catalyst for change, founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of background, deserves access to technology and the opportunities it brings.
The seeds of Zazi Tech Solutions were planted in the mind of Vusumzi Mqoboli back in 2006, during his first year in IT. Facing challenges with computer literacy, he recognized an obvious digital divide between those from privileged backgrounds and those, like him, who lacked exposure to computers.
The dream of creating a solution that would bridge this gap and provide opportunities for the underprivileged started taking shape; a project that would inspire, educate, and equip individuals with essential computer skills. The vision, however, faced the harsh reality of financial constraints, leading Vusumzi to knock on doors for funding without success.
Years of persistence and a burning desire to make a difference led him to take a bold step in 2023. He eventually secured a loan to set up Zazi Tech Solutions—a learning haven equipped with a 12-meter container, chairs, laptops, and all the necessary tools to impart crucial computer skills. Since its inception in November 2023, the tech business has been on a steady growth trajectory, serving the Langa community and addressing the pressing need for computer literacy.
Zazi Tech Solutions found a supportive partner in Octotel & RSAWEB, marking a collaboration that goes beyond business. The sponsorship of a free fibre line empowers them to expand their mission, providing resources for technology access, job creation, and training opportunities in the community of Langa.
Moreover, by educating the local community on the benefits of fibre services, Zazi Tech contributes to both company’s broader goal of increasing fibre adoption in townships, fostering economic growth and digital inclusion.
Since its official opening, Zazi Tech Solutions has become more than an educational facility. The business has successfully assisted its customers in securing job interviews and placements through professional resume-building services. The vision extends beyond Langa, with aspirations to establish a skyscraper I.T. institute, create employment opportunities, and contribute to the growth of businesses and organizations in townships.
As Zazi Tech envisions opening branches in areas where digital literacy is lacking, the success stories created within the walls of their modest container speak volumes about the impact of bridging the digital divide.
Zazi Tech Solutions is not just a computer centre; it’s a force driving digital inclusion. Visit today to witness the transformation, embrace the power of technology, and be part of a journey that’s lighting up Langa one keystroke at a time.
