Techafon Store Launches All-Women Tech Hub in Mthatha

Yesterday, 11 March 2026, the Techafon Store officially launched in Mthatha. The hub is co-owned, managed, and operated by women alumni from Izani’s IT repair training programme, creating new livelihood opportunities in the local tech sector.

Techafon Store is a Circular Economy business built around the 4R model: Repairs, Refurbish, Repurpose and Reuse. The initiative supports small tech businesses while helping the community extend the life of devices and reduce electronic waste.

To celebrate the launch, Techafon is offering free phone and laptop repair labour from 11 March to 14 March 2026. Customers will only pay for parts if they are required.

If you live in or around Mthatha, bring your devices and take advantage of this offer. You can also purchase parts, accessories, gadgets, refurbished phones and laptops at highly affordable prices.
