About KasiCoach

KasiCoach is a South African AI company that runs Coach K, an AI mentorship service for township and rural young people delivered over WhatsApp and Telegram, with no app download required. Coach K offers seven coaching personas covering business, careers, campus life and bursaries, wellness, agriculture and general life mentoring, with a schools track in development. The wellness and mentor streams are free with no paywall.

The company sells to government departments, SETAs, corporates and impact organisations through white-label deployments, programme integration, annual licensing and three-to-six-month structured pilots. KasiCoach (Pty) Ltd was registered in 2026 as a subsidiary of Sicoja Training CC, a QCTO-accredited training provider established in 2002, and is wholly backed by its parent. Founder and director Siyabonga Fortune Twala leads both companies from Mbombela (Nelspruit) in Mpumalanga. The company cites South Africa's 57% youth unemployment rate as the problem it addresses.

Coach K is live on WhatsApp and early-tester applications are open. In October 2026 KasiCoach was selected for the Google for Startups Accelerator: South Africa, one of 15 startups chosen from 1,057 applications, described by Google as an AI mentorship platform on WhatsApp and Telegram for township and rural youth.
