Alan Knott-Craig Is Living The Dream

Wonder if he’s a big tipper.
In what is undoubtedly the tweet of the week, here’s new MXit mogul, Alan Knott Craig, kicking back with a pizza and a draught at Stellenbosch eatery, Ginos, having just purchased South African social media megalith, MXit. The dream. Living it. Indeed.

A few weeks ago we reported that South African venture capitalist and World of Avatar CEO, Alan Knott-Craig had purchased MXit for an undisclosed sum, that some were speculating was as much as R500 million. No small change, but MXit is no small enterprise: South Africa’s most popular mobile social platform boasts upwards of 44 million users, and is active in 128 countries globally. [Twitter]
