Silulo offers IT training services in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, with an unemployed population of a staggering 1.6 million people. The Rani brothers are remarkable entrepreneurs, doing great work to up skill people, making them more employable. These courageous entrepreneurs are defying the odds by successfully operating in a market where large corporates such as Telkom have been hesitant to penetrate, deeming it unprofitable due to the low income and high unemployment. Since Silulo’s success, more companies have shown increased interest in this market, including MWEB, who have partnered with Silulo to open a series of public internet cafes and IT training centers.
