From Ntshongweni to a Growing Tech Hub Network
Practical digital, technology, business and everyday services closer to the communities we serve.
About Awali Net
Awali Net was established in Ntshongweni, KwaZulu-Natal in 2018. The business started by helping local customers access useful digital and technology services closer to home.
As customer needs grew, Awali Net expanded into printing, design, branding, business support, technology services, retail, repairs and connectivity. This evolution led to the development of the Awali Net Tech Hub model — a network of locally accessible service points offering different combinations of services based on the needs of each community.
Today, Awali Net is a growing multi-location service business. Customers can print at selected Tech Hubs, repair devices at participating locations, buy technology and other products through the Tech Hubs and online store, and connect to digital services, connectivity and online assistance. Awali Net additionally provides branding, graphic design, signs, business support and franchise opportunities for approved entrepreneurs and investors.
