New help for start-ups

ICT

Young South African entrepreneurs are being given a helping hand onto the information superhighway thanks to a new social entrepreneurship initiative by South African digital agency Krazyboyz Digital. Internet access, hosting and website development is prohibitively expensive in South Africa compared with many countries, effectively shutting the internet door on start-up companies.

SMEweb.co.za, a partnership between Krazyboyz and the Umsobomvu Youth Fund, will allow SMEs to set up their own business websites for only R200 ($29) including domain registration, professional site design, hosting for one year, five email addresses and technical support.
