Kontax - Africa's first m-book!


We were joined in studio by Steve Vosloo, from the Shuttleworth Foundation. Steve spoke about the new m-novel called Kontax that they had launched. The m-novel which is available in both English and isiXhosa, is accessible on your cellphone if it is wap-enabled or on your computer. Everyday over a period of 21 days, a chapter will be revealed. Readers not only read the story but they also vote about events in the story, have their say and post comments, download wallpapers and share with friends. The best comments posted on both the English and the isiXhosa site will receive R100 airtime. Never fear there is also opportunity for you to win a prize at the end of the competition by writing ideas for a sequel.
