There are many money transfer systems in the region but none is crafted to cater for the needs of a consumer, who wants to purchase goods and services, both real and virtual on web and mobile. The use of shortcodes will not suffice due to their inflexible nature.
The ZungukaPay platform  fills this void by providing a scalable, agnostic mobile and online payment gateway with integrated micro-payment support.

………………

As of 3rd September 2010 – Zunguka Pay is now  – MOCA and moves out of beta!

The propositions are:
For Operators – Get Richer Content Faster

a.    KeleleMobile will provide richer content through easy access to a continuous stream of innovative, tested solutions from Africa’s most creative developers. It helps bring new content to market with speed, ease, and minimal investment, resulting in faster time to market. Our solution is flexible, allowing operators to choose some or all content from the KeleleMobile Master Catalog, and add the Purchasing Client to their existing service and content discovery methods. All this is presented through an open standards approach that does not lock operators into specific terminals or service delivery infrastructures.

For developers – Reach More Users Sooner
a.    KeleleMobile will provide a single point of entry to operator channels Africa wide. It will reach more users by complementing the developer’s existing distribution channels. It reaches them sooner by simplifying deal making and streamlining content and application verification. KeleleMobile presents the biggest market opportunity available because it is based on open standards.

For users – Add applications and content on the go
a)    The KeleleMobile Purchasing Client will provide an branded, integrated experience that combines discovery, preview, delivery, and secure payment. The fast and easy user experience is delivered over the air, everywhere the user goes. It helps users find what they need, provides enhanced download functionality, and supports multiple payment mechanisms.

b)    The Master Catalog is the core of KeleleMobile. It is a central repository for all published content, a staging ground for content being readied for release, and a facilitator between content providers and operators.

Nonetheless, there remains a lack of knowledge and expertise in what works, what doesn’t and how to apply these advances to achieve business value while integrating them into existing business strategies or out rightly develop new strategies around this technology.

Building on broad industry knowledge and many years of experience designing and implementing “mission-critical” mobile and web solutions we fill in this void by creating specialized curricula of knowledge & awareness forums to provide  relevant sessions for engagement to companies, governments, non-governmental organizations, SME’s and individuals looking to realize the full benefit of mobile and web technology.

The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication.

In Web 2.0 terms, this would be a an online experience that doesn’t just give you information, but interacts with you while giving you that information. This interaction can be as simple as asking for your comments or letting you vote on an article, or it can be as complex as recommending movies to you based on the ratings of other people with similar interests.

Think of regular media as a one-way road where you can read a newspaper or listen to a report on television, but you have very limited ability to give your thoughts on the matter.

Social media, on the other hand, is a two-way road that gives you the ability to communicate and interact  too.
