Gogos Go Digital with Vuma & goGOGOgo

Loading player...
In this heartwarming episode, we celebrate a groundbreaking initiative that’s bridging the digital divide for South Africa’s grandmothers. Through a partnership between Vuma and goGOGOgo, 38 incredible gogos in Pretoria have graduated from a digital skills training programme—learning to send emails, browse the internet, use WhatsApp, and even access online services.

Gone are the days of relying on their grandchildren for tech support—these gogos are now tapping, swiping, and thriving in the digital world!

Join us as we unpack the impact of this initiative, the stories of empowerment, and why digital inclusion matters for all generations.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired by how technology is changing lives—one gogo at a time!
