Sandulela Technology (Pty) Ltd is a Level 2 BEE company with proven experience and track record in prepayment electricity vending working in the public sector. Sandulela is well placed to extend its services and experience to meet the institutional needs of utilities and municipalities looking for solutions to the aggregation of prepaid electricity across multiple retail channels. Notably, Sandulela’s High Performance Switch (HPS) is one of the most recognised prepaid electricity aggregation technology platforms within Eskom, City of Cape Town, City of Ekurhuleni and eThekwini Municipality among others. Sandulela also aggregates a number of direct municipalities through long term relationships with the likes of Ontec, Syntell etc.
Sandulela deals with a variety of retail partners as resellers of prepaid electricity nationally and has overhauled its technology platform making it more streamlined to meet its wholesale distribution requirements for the South African market. Sandulela provides services to over 200,000 retail points in the peri-urban, township and rural areas of South Africa.
These distribution partners include Kazang Connect, one of Africa’s leading providers of virtual vending products and services in the informal markets of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Kazang Connect has a growing footprint of 34,000 POS devices in South Africa and continually strives to develop innovative solutions to better the business practices of its vendors and meet the demand of its growing customer base.
Kazang Connect enables retail vendors to grow their businesses into a smart shop with the opportunity to start trading in prepaid airtime and data, electricity and bill payments, gaming vouchers and even internal and local money transfer services.
A welcome addition to the Kazang Connect products and services offering was Pay@, a bill payment aggregator. This new service gives Kazang Connect the ability to offer over 150 different bill payments options to its vendors and customers. These include, but are not limited to Justine, Avon, HomeChoice and AVBOB as well as eThekwini Municipal, City of Ekurhuleni and Eskom municipal bill payments.
The continued partnership between Sandulela Technology, Kazang Connect and Pay@ ensures mutual growth, but also provides an essential service to the customers of both Sandulela and Kazang Connect throughout South Africa. [356]
