Event  Overview.

On Africa Day 2025, Khoi Tech hosted a dynamic business networking session at the historic Sakhumzi Restaurant on Vilakazi Street, a location steeped in the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Inside Sakhumzi Restaurant, the atmosphere was electric, with guests welcomed by professional waiters and the rhythmic sounds of African music.

The sales were phenomenal, with attendees enthusiastically purchasing Khoi’s innovative gadgets, proving the growing demand for homegrown African tech solutions.

Business Presentation and Networking.

Khoi Tech CEO, Seati Moloi, delivered a keynote that reframed African tech as a decolonization tool: “Our smartwatches monitor more than heart rates, they’re tracking the pulse of African self-determination. Every Khoi Afripods purchase isn’t just a transaction, it’s a vote for our children’s technological sovereignty.”

The event featured a business seminar where Khoi Tech took guests through:

✔ Current and Upcoming Product Showcase:

• Smart Glasses
• Broadband Devices

✔ Deep Dive into Khoi’s Software Ecosystem:

Key Discussions: Black Business & African Tech Disruption.

A major highlight was the panel discussion on:

• How Black Businesses Can Thrive – Emphasizing intentional support for African-owned brands.
• Building Dominant African Brands – Tapping into the 1.5 billion African market to reduce reliance on foreign products.
• Legacy & Self-Reliance – Ensuring future generations benefit from Africa’s vast mineral and intellectual resources rather than depending on foreign aid.

Khoi Tech’s Founder & CEO, Seati Moloi, declared that Africa Day celebrations will now be an annual event, growing bigger each year with more corporate participation. He also advocated for Africa Day to become a continental holiday, reinforcing unity and economic empowerment.

“Africans must be educated about the benefits of doing trade with each other. The high unemployment rate is a ticking time bomb not only here in South Africa but throughout Africa, and inter-trading and being self-reliant will solve this real pandemic we are facing.”

A Celebration of African Culture & Cuisine.

Guests were treated to a delicious buffet of traditional African cuisine by Sakhumzi Restaurant, while live performances kept the energy high. The fusion of business, tech, and culture made this Africa Day unforgettable.
