MXit setting up more offices in Mauritius

Browsing around the MXit.co.za site I found the career section: Work4Mxit

Quite a few jobs available at MXit Lifestyle, with this

Based location : Mauritius

standing out.

Looks like MXit is opening up shop in Mauritius?

Reasons? Maybe it’s the closest place that has reasonably priced bandwidth.

Would I go to mauritius? Yes, when it’s not cyclone season 🙂

MXit is growing and growing so this has brought on a change.

We will now have MXit SA (South Africa) and MXit International.
So no need to worry, our roots are firmly planeted in the ground and MXit SA is not going anywhere except up!

Without giving too much away, Mauritius would be where the head offices would be located for MXit International and MXit SA will remain in Stellenbosch.

What does this mean to the users?

Nothing will change! MXit, the mobile phone application, will still work from everywhere and anywhere!
MXit is just getting bigger to give a better service behind the scenes.
