3 Major Sectors You Should Focus On! At Sharelovv International, we acknowledge that for Africa to reach its full potential, we must address key sectors that can enhance its development. This is why we are focused on: Agriculture, Medical Technology, and Internet infrastructure connectivity. 📌Agriculture plays a crucial role in providing food security and boosting the economy.

Get to know us at MzansiSat. We would love to connect with you. MzansiSat is a proudly South African, Pan-African Satellite Company offering communities faster, more affordable, and sustainable connectivity. We are excited to extend our reach to the public- our community. It is of utmost importance, that together, we assist in creating a more technologically-savvy and connected future. The conversation, currently in South Africa, concerning connectivity is dismal and continues to be a growing concern for all. Our approach is anchored in proprietary design and regulatory strategies, prioritizing autonomy, affordability, and freedom from overseas interference. More importantly, we are a promised, ongoing reliable source of connectivity. A reality that has been shattered with poor connectivity in South Africa today and when we say South Africa, we mean it holistically and inclusively. From the suburbs, to the lavish business districts to the nooks and crannies of our townships, ekasi, to the lands of the windy, green, and riverside rurals. What drives us in these spaces is that we have come and gone from them and built homes and dreams amidst them. Here, in these intimate spaces, we have been connected with each other. MzansiSat has one goal- to connect with you, wherever you are and whatever story you may hold as your own. Let's have a conversation. Share your thoughts with us.
