Naspers buys 30% of MXit
It was announced on Friday that Naspers acquired a chunk of the MXit Lifestyle Pty Ltd company.
No figures were mentioned.
What effect will this have on the MXit company?
It should allow them to improve and grow and have access to more resources.
The Naspers network is huge.
Naspers also has a large stake in the massively popular instant messenger in Asia, QQ by Tecent.
