Telkom VS Gaming Brings “For All Gamers” to Life at Comic Con Africa 2025 #ComicConAfrica

Hi Guys, 

Inclusive, immersive, and unforgettable — the Telkom VS Gaming universe returns to Comic Con Africa with a game-changing fan experience powered by Telkom, Samsung and Openserve.

Telkom VS Gaming is gearing up to make a powerful return to Comic Con Africa from 28 to 31 August 2025, and this time, it's For All Gamers - literally. With an exciting line-up of activations, giveaways, creators, characters, and gaming challenges, Telkom VS Gaming will transform their convention space into a multi-zone celebration of local gaming culture, welcoming fans of every skill level and style.

From console warriors and mobile gamers to casual players and Cosplay enthusiasts, Comic Con Africa 2025 marks the official launch of the For All Gamers platform, a bold commitment from Telkom VS Gaming to make gaming more inclusive, accessible, and culturally relevant.

“This isn’t just a tagline,” says Johann Von Backstrom, Telkom VS Gaming spokesperson. “For All Gamers is about celebrating the entire spectrum of players — from those grinding in online tournaments, to friends playing FIFA in their lounges, or fans who are just discovering gaming for the first time.”

A Universe of Zones — Built for Everyone

The Telkom VS Gaming area will be divided into five immersive zones, each delivering its own distinct experience while reinforcing the inclusive For All Gamers theme.

Telkom VS Gaming Main Stage

The heart of the action, featuring high-stakes finals, shoutcaster commentary, crowd challenges, and the now-iconic Next-Gen Squad - Mobile Mo, Vibey Val, and S-Tech - as in-person fan guides and hosts.

EAFC Free-to-Play Zone

A daily 32-player knockout tournament brings fans together to compete, banter, and claim bragging rights - no sign-up fee, no gatekeeping, just pure play.

Telkom Smart Home Zone

This life-size walkthrough demo blends tech, home life, and gaming. Visitors complete interactive stations to unlock exclusive prizes - including a chance to win a trip to Tokyo.

Samsung Mobile Arena

Home to Tinbo Dash, this mobile-first area features leaderboards, chill café-style seating, and a Gemini AI Photobooth where fans can transform into cosplay avatars - no costume required. Winners walk away with Samsung Galaxy A-series devices, watches, and more.

Openserve Sim Racing Rig

Precision meets performance in this high-octane sim racing challenge. Participants compete for daily prizes and a R10,000 cash reward for the fastest lap of the weekend.

The Rise of the Next-Gen Squad

Adding to the entertainment, Telkom VS Gaming is reintroducing their local characters - Mobile Mo, Vibey Val, and S-Tech - not only as mascots, but as faces of the For All Gamers platform.

This year, fans are invited to join the squad in a Next-Gen Cosplay Competition, dressing up as their own version of the characters for a shot at winning daily prizes and the ultimate crown on the main stage.

Partners Making It Possible

• The experience is made possible through collaboration with Telkom, Samsung, and Openserve, each powering a zone that reflects their brand’s commitment to connectivity, mobile-first tech, and digital transformation.
• Samsung enhances the mobile zone with sleek devices and AI innovation.
• Openserve backs the racing sim experience with the speed to match.
• Telkom drives the platform’s purpose forward with the belief that “Possible Begins Here” - especially in gaming.

A Movement in the Making

Comic Con Africa 2025 is just the beginning. As the For All Gamers identity grows, Telkom VS Gaming is laying the foundation for an even more immersive and educational experience at future events, including a world-building expansion planned for Comic Con Cape Town in 2026.

This year, however, it’s all about showing up, showing off, and showing gamers of all types that they belong. Whether you’re in cosplay, at the controller, or in the crowd - Telkom VS Gaming has a space for you. Because this is For All Gamers.

iStore Marks 20 Years as South Africa’s Home of Everything Apple

Hi Guys, 

This year marks a major milestone for iStore, South Africa’s dedicated Apple Premium Partner, as it celebrates two decades of retail excellence.

Since opening its doors in 2005, iStore has had a deep passion for bringing the very best of Apple to all South Africans in a way that Apple intended - the best possible customer experience and a “best in world” Apple environment. Customer experience is the DNA of Apple, and from Day 1, iStore has passionately endeavoured to extend that Apple experience into our customers’ hands. As much as Apple products ensure customers can get the most out of their personal technology, iStore has been there to ensure that customers always get the most out of their Apple products.

“At iStore, we believe that technology should do more than function, that it should enrich lives. For 20 years, our purpose has been to make the Apple experience accessible, meaningful and personal for every customer who walks through our doors,” says Chris Dodd, CEO of iStore. “Being the home of Apple in South Africa means we’re not just here to sell technology, we’re here to bring Apple’s spirit of innovation and service to life, every day. This milestone is not just about our past, but a renewed promise to continue delivering the best of Apple to our customers for years to come.”

More Access. More Value. More Impact

From the bustling streets of Johannesburg to the heart of eMalahleni, the vibrant city of East London or the communities of Soweto, iStore has become a cornerstone of Apple in South Africa. It proudly supports every major mobile network—Vodacom, Telkom, and MTN—under one roof, and offers customers more ways to pay, free delivery, and world-class trade-in values.

iStore's promise of more is reflected in every part of its experience:

• More Access: With over 40 retail locations, iStore meets customers where they are, both in-store and online.
• More Value: From free technical support and training to flexible payment options, iStore makes Apple ownership more accessible and affordable.
• More Impact: Through SMB and Education initiatives, and partnerships with programmes like iSchoolAfrica, iStore empowers communities, supports local talent, and equips educators and learners for the future. (To find out more about iSchoolAfrica please visit www.ischoolafrica.com)

Driving the circular economy

iStore’s world-leading Trade-in Programme forms the heart of its larger circular economy, offering customers the highest possible trade-in values when upgrading to the latest Apple products. It also brings many more South Africans into the Apple family through its Pre‑Owned Apple product range, available both online and in dedicated Pre‑Owned stores.

iStore’s Trade-in offering is the most extensive in the market, covering iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple Watch. This offering is not limited to Apple devices only as customers can also trade in Android phones and PCs as well. iStore’s Trade-in Programme provides customers with the ability to:

• Get a substantial amount of cash back into their bank account (up to R22,000 depending on the Apple product traded in)
• Reduce the cost of their cellular contract monthly
• Get an instant upfront discount when they buy

A leader in Omnichannel retail

iStore has led the way in omnichannel retail in South Africa, making it easier than ever for Apple customers to get their products where and when it works best for them. iStore offers “within the hour” (RightNow), same day, next day or scheduled deliveries. Customers can also choose to pick up their online order in-store - within minutes of placing it. All these services at iStore comes at no extra fee to the customer, allowing them to get their Apple products delivered in a way that suits them, for free.

20 Years In – More Than Just a Store

Beyond its retail footprint, iStore has built careers, fostered innovation, and supported entrepreneurs with tools to thrive. Whether enabling a student with their first Mac or helping a small business streamline their operations, iStore has always been about more than just devices—it’s about delivering what matters most to people.

Two decades in, iStore is more passionate than ever about bringing the best customer experience and the best of Apple every day to its customers. As South Africa’s true Home of Everything Apple, iStore remains committed to bringing even more in future to our customers and the communities in which it operates.

BCX Releases its First Digital Innovation Report 2022 @BCXworld #DigitalInnovation

Hi Friends, 

Today BCX announced the launch of its first Digital Innovation Report 2022. This is a part of its ongoing effort to encourage digital innovation by large enterprises, small and medium enterprises (SME’s), as well as to encourage innovation on a broader scale within South Africa.

“The reality of the COVID-19 pandemic is that we are all trying to solve problems never experienced before. At first, it was for survival and business continuity, and later for some, it led to considerations for the future. It is without a doubt that digital technologies and digital innovation will play a big part in that future.” Says Jonas Bogoshi, CEO at BCX.

According to Bogoshi, world markets have experienced rapid technological changes as a result of COVID-19 and are in pursuit of economic revival. The pandemic presented South Africa and much of the developing world with increased challenges, which seem insurmountable. However, it has also provided opportunities that must be seized if we are to rebuild the economy and remain competitive within a technologically driven global market.

The recently launched report includes a body of knowledge that outlines current trends and the status of digital innovation in South Africa, at both a micro and macro level. It provides an in-depth look at subjects such as global and local trends in innovation, technologies that are fuelling digital innovation, especially in retail.

Looking at the retail sector, the report suggests that digital innovation has had a massive impact on this sector. In 2019, South Africa’s online retail space (or e-commerce industry) was still in its infancy, accounting for only 1.4% of total retail spending. However, the onset of the COVID–19 pandemic brought about nationwide lockdowns and restrictions to the movement of consumers. Retailers needed to reform their business models to attract customers without the enticements of shopping malls. It pushed the pace of change into hyperdrive. The pandemic served as a launchpad for digital innovation, with increased uptake in e-commerce from online retail and click-and-collect to video streaming. South Africa saw a 50 to 70% growth in e-commerce in 2021.

Similar insights are presented on critical sectors of our economy, such as Banking, Healthcare, and Insurance, amongst others. There are ten case studies included in the report of local companies depicting their journey to success with digital innovation.

“We are at a critical period of our economy – most countries are still reeling from the fourth wave of COVID-19 and are focused on their future sustainability. The world’s larger economies are picking up speed based on substantial stimulus packages and an incredible pace of digital innovation. We are playing catch-up and must act if we are to compete” suggest Bogoshi.

South Africa has, however, greatly increased its adoption of digital technologies over the past 18 months. Although digital innovation and transformation have been priorities for South African organisations for a number of years, the COVID-19 pandemic has escalated the importance of digital innovation to a ‘survival level’. The report cites a study indicating 79% of organisations in South Africa had fast-tracked digital transformation programmes by the end of 2020.

According to the BCX report, a positive aspect of COVID-19 has been the impetus it created for digital innovation, which was never experienced before in modern history. From the way we work and the way we buy groceries, to the way we receive healthcare and carry out our jobs, the necessity for less physical contact has opened a gateway for digital innovation from which we will benefit for decades to come.

“The BCX Digital Innovation report 2022 highlights the opportunities that our current circumstances present for large-scale transformation of South Africa through digital innovation. It should be an inclusive journey, ultimately leading to benefits for all, whilst limiting the negative impacts of rapid changes we will most likely continue to experience for years to come,” concludes Bogoshi.

BCX is playing its part in driving digital transformation by investing in and growing its technology offerings such as expanding its SD-WAN capabilities, optimising the traditional ICT environment, and reducing cost by automating IT operations. It has also refined its Artificial Intelligence for IT operations, continued its focus on security and software-defined networking and made other evolutions to its existing technology, so that it continues to provide best-in-class, cost-effective, scalable, and secure solutions to clients.

In addition, through the Digital Innovation Awards, BCX has promoted some of the most innovative companies - from start-ups, SMMEs to large enterprises, showcasing the possibilities of adopting digital innovation. BCX partners with both employees and companies in testing new ideas that can be brought into the market and those that may have a positive impact on society

Unboxing Telkom Music Powered by JOOX Launch Event Goodies @TelkomZA #TelkomMusicXBigZulu #TelkomMusic #TelkomConnectsSA

Hi Friends, 

Telkom Launched their own Music app in collaboration with Tencent named Telkom Music Powered by JOOX in South Africa for all the subscribers of Telkom Mobile Network at the monthly charge of R60 per month which includes Full access to all the songs available on the app. It's also one of the fewer data consuming songs/music apps in the market as per the comparisons done by the research team. According to data tests done by Software company Bitcube, Telkom Music Powered by JOOX consumes significantly less data than its competitors. The app consumed just 173MB to stream 100 high-quality songs, Apple Music consumed 1001MB, while Spotify consumed 1112MB and Deezer 564MB. So clearly you can see less than 200MB was consumed to download 100 songs which basically means 2MB per song. It really makes a great business case for the South African market where the data costs are still high. The app size is also very small almost 10MB to download from the Huawei App Gallery or the Google Play store as it currently supports only Android devices. I am grateful to Tencent for inviting me to the launch event and blessing me with these amazing goodies. I totally loved the event as it also marked Big Zulu's latest album named - Ichwane Lenyoka. I met the singer/rapper Siyabonga Nene at the event and it was also my first time meeting him. See the photos on my Twitter and Instagram handles.
