About Diji

Diji is a Durban-based mobile learning service that lets African language speakers learn in their own language, on their phones and in their own time. It offers short, skills-based courses in languages including Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana and Yoruba.

Entry-level courses cover digital and financial literacy, growing food and running a small business, and are designed to use little data. Learners access them through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram or the website. Diji was built with feedback from more than 8,500 people and is powered by iAfrika Digital.
