No child in rural South Africa should be left behind by the digital revolution. We're fixing that๐ก | Cisco Academy | Lenyenye, Limpopo | NPO 318-794
Hot take:
The people MOST at risk from AI misinformation are not the ones debating it on X.
They are in rural villages. With no fact-checkers. No media literacy training. And one WhatsApp group as their only news source.
That is who we build for at @DigitalVexos. ๐
HUGE NEWS for Tzaneen! @DigitalVexospark NPO & @databot_io are partnering to revolutionize #STEMEducation in South Africa! ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Introducing the Sensor Science Initiative (SSI) โ empowering youth with hands-on science using just a smartphone! ๐ฌโจ
Big thanks to @RobertGrover!
@Newzroom405 Beyond just words, we need to hear about a shift toward digital transparency. Accountability is easier to track when systems are automated and open-source. Letโs move from promises to verifiable data! #SONA2026#StateOfTheNation
Huge thanks to Medal Paints for their generous donation to @DigitalVexospark! ๐จ๐ฟ๐ฆ

@expressoshow@AbsaSouthAfrica Digital Vexospark NPO would never share sensitive community passwords or private location pins. Protecting your digital identity is the first step to owning your narrative!

@METROFMSA@CapitecBankSA@CapitecBankSA R15k would fund a 1-month 'Girls in Tech' intensive for Digital Vexospark NPO! ๐ค๐ป Weโll equip 15 adolescent girls with robotics kits and coding skills to bridge the digital divide. Help us turn their curiosity into a career! #CapitecBusiness#GirlsInSTEM
@ChickenLickenSA The only thing that takes longer than January is... deciding which Chicken Licken piece to eat first. ๐๐ฅ That SoulRock soul-searching is real!

This gender digital divide is a fundamental barrier. It is a crisis that organizations like @UNICEF and @ITU are tirelessly working to address.
A Vexospark, we are tackling this gap with a holistic approach focused on 2 pillars: Skill Sustainability & Cultural Competence
The "Offline Reality" is a global crisis: As of 2026, a staggering 90% of adolescent girls and young women in low-income countries remain offline. ๐คฏ
While the world discusses the "next frontier" of AI and the Metaverse, this silent barrier is blocking education & healthcare
@GovernmentZA โA budget that ignores the digital divide in 2026 is a budget that plans for future inequality. We need a fiscal roadmap that treats digital literacy as a fundamental human right.โ โ Digital Vexospark NPO
@GaytonMcK I am William Makgaba from Digital Vexospark NPO. We are a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) in Limpopo, dedicated to digital empowerment. We are currently facing a critical funding crisis and urgently require some funds to restore our formal operations.
The 87.3% matric pass rate is a victoryโbut itโs only half the battle. ๐
With nearly 900,000 students fighting for NSFAS funding, the "Digital Divide" is becoming a "Funding Divide." Incomplete applications and technical errors are the #1 reason students lose their spot.
@Julius_S_Malema, our NPO in Tzaneen (Lenyenye) is at a breaking point. We train youth & refugees in digital skills, but we urgently need R104k to pay 5 months of staff salaries, settle debts, and reopen our bank account to secure future funding.
What a year for Digital Vexospark! ๐ 2025 has been about impact in Limpopo:
๐ July: Digital Skills for Decent Jobs Graduation ๐ 947 Youth trained in Digital Literacy w/ @NEMISA & @ULvarsity ๐ 78 Youth assisting 4 primary schools
