About a decade ago, I embarked on an ambitious journey to create an online platform capable of rivaling eBay and Amazon. My vision was to establish a robust e-commerce site specifically tailored for Africa and beyond. I began by registering the domain afrobay.com and developing the website's infrastructure. However, I soon received an email from eBay threatening legal action for $3 million for copyright infringement, claiming that my domain and website closely resembled ebay.com. They demanded that I abandon the domain and allow it to expire to avoid costly disputes. After consulting with my lawyer, I made the difficult decision to let it go and redirect my focus toward innovation.
I explored various domain names that would resonate with the African context, but nothing felt quite right. After a few years of searching, the perfect name came to me: ebulenjini.com. This name was ideal, as "ebulenjini" means "on the internet" in Ndebele. I promptly registered the domain, confident that it encapsulated my vision of building a pan-African online platform offering a diverse range of competitive digital and virtual technology products.
In 2019, I launched the portal as an e-commerce site. However, as it evolved over the following years, I decided to transform it into a comprehensive online platform that integrated social media, news, travel hosting, e-commerce, and much more. Today, the portal is experiencing significant growth, moving beyond a mere proof of concept and steadily progressing toward scalability and profitability. Our parent company, Ebulenjini Group, is officially registered as a Private Limited Company in South Africa.
Ebulenjini Group has made available 10% ownership shares and is inviting individuals or companies interested in joining this exciting journey.
In addition to ownership shares we are releasing a further 40% preference shares for individual and cooperate investors

The Africa Digital Transformation Market size is estimated at USD 26.09 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 52.63 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.07% during the forecast period (2025-2030). Digital transformation primarily involves integrating digital technologies across various organizational facets, fundamentally reshaping operations, and enhancing customer value propositions. This shift can lead to streamlined operations, elevated customer experiences, bolstered brand image, and heightened customer loyalty within business services.
One of the primary drivers in Africa's digital landscape is its youthful and tech-savvy population. This demographic, keen on embracing new technologies, is propelling sectors like e-commerce, digital education, and telemedicine. Additionally, partnerships between public and private entities and international collaborations are hastening the continent's digital evolution. These alliances not only spur innovation but also open up new economic avenues.
Internet penetration in Africa has surged, driven by the widespread use of mobile phones. This growth is further reinforced by significant investments in digital infrastructure, including broadband networks and undersea cables, improving both internet access and speed.
