, a black-owned telecommunications firm, plans to shake-up SA’s tightly-contested mobile device market, when it launches its locally-manufactured smartphone range in September.
Although the factories have been set up, operations have yet to begin, and the company is still assembling the devices in China. “ZTE is one of our critical partners because of their chipsets and the technology that sits behind the devices. The difference is not just a phone that is locally-developed, but we have certain applications which specifically cater to people speaking South African languages.

We have taken a decision as a province that the future economy of this province should be digital solutions created for our communities. Social development minister Lindiwe Zulu and Waseem Carrim, CEO of the National Youth Development Agency, were among the speakers who commended the Bam Telecoms team for paving a way for job creation and opportunities for SA’s youth.During an interview with ITWeb on the side-lines of the event, Bam explained the company plans to initially launch with five devices.
