MXit Lifestyle - South Africa Office
July 31st, 2008 by Stephen
Today is a double milestone day for Office Snapshots, with the first being the most subscribers ever, and the second being our first office on the continent of Africa.
MXit is a mobile instant messaging company based in Cape Town, South Africa (actually in ‘no man’s land’ between Stellenbosch and Cape Town, but who is keeping track?). They’ve got somewhere around 9 million users in 120 countries, which is pretty impressive. The company also offers many mobile games that their users can enjoy.
The office itself is just a great space for the company to grow into. The look is pretty modern and it has workstations like I’ve never seen. The office also has a fantastic view of the surrounding area, which includes the country’s best wineries. They also have clocks, which, in case you didn’t know, are the most important part of any tech office.
