__Case study: creating a PayPal or Alipay for Africa...
If you listen to the Business War on Sasai Podcast, eBay vs PayPal, you will realize that there would have been no eCommerce giants like Amazon, AirBnB, or Netflix, if the issue of Online payment systems had not been tackled by Peter Thiel, Reed Hoffman, and Elon Musk, the founders of PayPal.
In China, Jack Ma, the co-founder of Alibaba, realized quite early on that his eCommerce venture would not take off unless they first tackled Online payments. Jack then founded another company called AliPay, which is now one of the largest payment platforms in the world.
A few years ago, I also realized that Africa was falling behind in the digital economy because it had no continent-wide payment platform. So many things I wanted to introduce could not take off because not enough people had the ability to pay Online. Traditional payments companies like MasterCard and Visa are not really able to reach the mass population the way of PayPal and AliPay.
Those two platforms allow you to pay for things as little as 50 cents! Whilst a step forward, the mobile money platforms available in most African countries such as EcoCash, M-PESA, and MTN Money are not able to fully support payments Online.
Believe it or not, I have been trying to solve this problem for 5 years! When we began the Sasai App, this was meant to be the centerpiece of what we would solve!
__Now you know, the secret is out: It is called SasaiPay!
For those of you who know Sasai, it's one of the 14 Applications of this SuperApp.
Putting it together has been very difficult because most of the work that drives a platform like this is not in the App itself, but the partnerships that are required to make it work successfully across so many countries.
We chose an approach that avoided going head to head with existing platforms, but rather complementing and even supporting them. SasaiPay doesn't compete with Mobile Money platforms for instance; it works with them. We also work with local banks throughout Africa.
In fact, anyone with a payment platform can interconnect to SasaiPay!
They are our partners.
We also negotiated with global players like MasterCard and VISA. Some sharp-eyed members of this platform are aware that a few weeks ago Cassava Fintech, the parent of Sasai App, announced a deal with MasterCard, one of the largest payment companies in the world.
Other similar partnerships are in the works. And still we continue to build. Next, we begin to open up Online payments for Africa.
And what will follow?
Anyone with a business will be able to sell goods Online and ask for payment through SasaiPay!
__Sasai WiFi is a “use case of SasaiPay”
Those who are using the platform in Kenya, use SasaiPay to buy their data bundles. They can move money from a bank account or mobile money, and then use that money to buy anything they want Online, as though they had an international credit card.
SasaiPay also has a sister platform on the Sasai App, called SasaiRemit; this is used by people all over the world to send money to Africa and Asia. You can send money to almost 40 African countries in an instant.
You can also send money to someone’s SasaiPay account.
__Another “use case” is Sasai Watch Premium content. You will soon be able to pay for and watch premium content such as movies. African content creators who until now were unable to monetize their video and audio content are being given an outlet!
Some of you might ask, why did I not talk about SasaiPay before? The answer is simple: Don’t rush to talk about something until there is real substance for people to see.
There is substance now, and we are nearing the end of the pre-commercial phase. We are updating it quietly every month, as we add features, fix bugs, and prepare to launch a revolution.
This is also the time you start to talk to serious investors. We have the Innovation; next comes the Marketing, and if we manage our costs [while of course, delivering great and services to our ], then we make money...
“Innovation plus Marketing-Costs=Profit."
Now I know these are really tough times for many of you as the COVID Third Wave hits, as well as other new and ongoing hardships. I really hope you and your families are keeping safe.

This might go on production soon

A prototype flying car spent 35 minutes in the air on Monday, completing a test flight between two cities in Slovakia. Klein Vision's AirCar — which has a fixed propeller and transforms from an aircraft to a road vehicle in under three minutes — flew between Nitra and the capital Bratislava on Monday, according to a press release. " is no longer just a proof of concept," Anton Zajac said in the press release. "It has turned science fiction into a reality."
