Before Facebook became available globally, before Twitter, and before WhatsApp, South Africa had a mobile instant messaging and social media application called Mxit.
Namibian-born entrepreneur Herman Heunis created Mxit and launched it in 2005 — when flip phones and the Samsung W250 slider were the most popular cellphones in South Africa.
