Soweto tech entrepreneurs have been selected by Telkom to be part of its township innovation incubator programme.

The 18-month business programme aims to boost 11 technology-driven entrepreneurs in various areas of business.

Mmathebe Zvobwo, Telkom’s executive for FutureMakers, says FutureMakers focuses on four areas – incubation, investment, connectivity and business development support services. She says the initiative will have a social impact, because participants were selected on their ability to develop ICT-based solutions to local issues.

Zvobwo says Madiba will pilot the system in some of the country’s public hospitals. “This start-up has managed to secure a proof of concept with the national department of health, and we expect the pilot project to be a success.”
