Watch their #EpicTech story
As Oh My Wifi grew to service corporate clients with IoT services, Jean offered Tabelo access to MPS debit order functionality, as business accounts can’t accept DebiCheck mandates. Altron FinTech ensures that Oh My Wifi complies with all regulatory requirements and that Tabelo knows he’s got a partner that cares as much about his business as he does.
The impact
Tabelo now partners with MTN and Vodacom, leveraging their infrastructure to deliver low-cost internet packages accessible to individuals with damaged credit, ensuring that no one was left behind due to financial hardships.
Following the success of Oh My Wifi, Tabelo is opening a new business venture, and Jean is also closely involved in helping him set that up.
But Tabelo’s work extends beyond internet access; Tabelo has made it his mission to provide technology and connectivity that enables students to further their studies, workers to find jobs, and entire schools to continue educating children.
One of Tabelo’s most impactful initiatives is his active support and leadership at the Zanethemba Charity Foundation, a safe-care facility for abandoned or abused children.
By law, Zanethemba must have around-the-clock video surveillance to ensure the safety of the children in its care, which places a significant financial burden on already strained resources. Through Oh My Wifi, Tabelo provides Zanethemba with free Wi-Fi connectivity and surveillance hardware, using technology to support social upliftment and protect vulnerable children.
Tabelo’s goal is to grow Oh My Wifi across South Africa and create a legacy where connectivity is a right, not a privilege. He envisions a future where every community, no matter how remote or underserved, has the tools to thrive in the digital age.
