Internet Cafés
The company owns 7 internet cafes, located in busy foot traffic areas at the Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Strand & Paarl mall and hope to open another 8-10 cafes by end 2010. This rapid expansion is mainly a result of the partnership the company entered into with the the community development arm of Vodacom, who will sponsor the renovations and fittings of these mobile containers, as well as provide the internet connection.
The Services include:
- Internet – each internet café has 15 computer terminals, charging R12.00 for 1hr of internet usage time.
- Business services – such as the design and printing of business cards, marketing materials, obituaries and invitations, CV writing, copies, faxes, printing, scanning, binding, and laminating.
- Computer hardware sales – Sale of refurbished and new PCs and laptops to their customers at a much reduced price due to social responsibility partnerships with Microsoft and other computer manufacturers where they obtain refurbished and ‘almost new’ computers at a discount. Silulo has also negotiated a deal with Microsoft to obtain Microsoft software at R100 to sell as part of their hardware sales.
- Computer support and repairs – Support services for hardware, software, internet and networks.
