Thank you, Michael Jordaan, for the mention and for highlighting Clickatell as part of Africa’s fintech story at the RMB Think Summit 2026. 🙌

Your message resonated strongly: the companies that succeed in Africa are often those that build for the realities of the market, not the ideal.

For 26 years, that belief has guided Clickatell's journey - meeting customers where they already are through channels like USSD, SMS and WhatsApp, and helping enterprises deliver convenient, accessible digital experiences at scale.

We’re honoured to be recognised alongside businesses solving hard problems with practical thinking and real-world innovation. And if we may add, you are part of that winning formula too. 😉

It’s a day to raise awareness, encourage prevention and early detection, and stand in solidarity with the millions of people and families affected by cancer worldwide.

At Clickatell, this day is close to our hearts. We believe awareness, compassion, and access to information can make a real difference.

Let’s keep the conversation going, today and every day.

Today, we honour Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A moment to reflect on the legacy of a leader who championed equality, justice, and dignity for all.

Dr. King’s vision reminds us that progress is driven by courage, empathy, and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected.

At Clickatell, with employees and customers across the United States and around the world, we recognise this day as an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to inclusion, connection, and building technology that brings people closer together.

Our CEO, Pieter de Villiers, recently attended the SAVCA conference, where a proposed regulatory sandbox for South African start-ups was a key topic of discussion.

This new framework could make it easier for founders to attract global investment and scale internationally while keeping operations and jobs in South Africa.

Pieter noted that the solution is a win-win for the ecosystem but now requires collective will to finalise. He also warned that without meaningful reform, outdated policies will continue to limit founders’ ability to grow globally.

📲 Yesterday at the MEF Leadership Forum during AfricaCom, our Deputy CISO Casper de Villiers joined a great panel discussion hosted by WASPA: “Messaging Matters: The Evolving Role of Messaging in Africa’s Digital Economy.”

From bulk SMS to RCS, WhatsApp for Business, and conversational AI, the session explored how messaging continues to power Africa’s digital economy, driving engagement, compliance, and customer journeys.

💬 Casper shared how enterprises can navigate today’s fragmented messaging landscape: “There’s no one-size-fits-all channel. The right mix depends on your customer journey, use case, and business goals.”
- Start with the customer: Align channels to where engagement matters most.
- Let data lead: Use delivery rates, engagement, and ROI to guide decisions.
- Stay flexible: Adopt CPaaS platforms that enable true omnichannel strategies.
- Simplify and educate: Help brands cut through the noise with clear, data-driven guidance.

A big thank you to WASPA and moderator Anzelle Robertson for hosting this valuable discussion on the future of messaging in Africa.
