Loading player...
In this episode of Tech4Good, Samm Marshall and Rethabile Mohlala sit down with tech entrepreneur Bertha Kgokong, the visionary behind Skhokho 2.0—an all-in-one business management platform designed to empower South African SMEs. Discover how this homegrown solution, infused with AI and built for global scalability, simplifies invoicing, CRM, and project management—all while staying true to its authentically South African roots.

Bertha shares:

The inspiration behind Skhokho (meaning "the boss" in township slang) and its mission to democratize tech for small businesses.

How Skhokho 2.0 leverages AI (like WhatsApp-powered voice invoicing) to bridge gaps for entrepreneurs without laptops or formal training.

Insights from her upcoming launch event at Gibs (21 August), featuring industry leaders like Prof. Bonang Mohale, Rapelang Rabana, and Kutlwano Lagaba.

Why this platform is gaining traction internationally—and how it’s poised to become a flagship South African tech export.

Tune in for a conversation about innovation, inclusivity, and the future of African tech. #Tech4Good #Skhokho #SMEs #WomenInTech
