reminisces on simpler times and a legendary instant messaging service that paved the way for the widely used networks today.

Those who don’t know MXit will never experience the wonders of the chatrooms you could visit with a flip phone, using the cutting-edge Java and GPRS connectivity, before the days of fibre. Trying to break up with someone on MXit in an area with poor connectivity presented a unique set of challenges for one’s emotional well-being.

Another of our strong points was that we kept innovating.

The app could work on about 8 000 devices, which attracted large media companies looking to buy a stake of Heunis’ pie.
