If you missed it, Alan Knott-Craig Jnr (through World of Avatar) acquired a 90% stake in MXit, well known for its mobile instant messaging service. Besides stepping down, Herman Heunis along with Naspers sold their stakes in the company and the remaining 10% is for the benefit of the employees of MXit. Alan will now take the reigns as CEO of the company.

Before I go any further, I would first like to commend Herman Heunis who certainly risked it all. I am personally inspired by him and after 6 years of hard work, I hope he enjoys his well deserved break.
