Is 8 Enough for Silulo?

On Friday, May 7th, Silulo Ulutho Technologies celebrated the opening of yet another internet café! Located in the Nonkqubela Link mall in Khayelitsha, this new branch brings Silulo's total number of branches to 8.

Silulo Ulutho Technologies was founded in 2004 by four passionate entrepreneurs: Luvuyo Rani (Managing Director and Financial Director), Lonwabo Rani (Operations Director), Sigqibo Phangabantu (Technical Director) and Nandipha Matshoba (Marketing Director). Silulo's objective is to expand the accessibility and fundamental knowledge of information technology in the Western Cape Townships. They came to TSiBA for mentoring in early 2008, and since then the company has grown from 10 employees at 1 location to 34 employees at 8 locations.


Many Khayelitsha residents have not had the opportunity to learn basic computer skills or technical training. Part of Silulo's success has been generated from tapping into this market, by offering training courses on basic computer skills, typing skills, Windows XP, Microsoft Office, and internet and e-mail usage.

Silulo's services don't stop there - the company is also involved in computer sales, maintenance, and professional services such as assistance with CV writing, printing, copying, and graphic design.

Silulo's opening day was a huge success, but it is one of many to come. Their future plans include 8-10 new branches - apparently, 8 is not enough for Silulo!
