May 19, 2021
A 27-year-old man from Soshanguve north of Pretoria has created his own affordable entry-level laptop and a company, Dot Connect Electronics.
Mpumelelo Mahlangu was speaking to Radio Islam on Wednesday about his laptop and that dreams do come true, if you put enough time and hard work into your ideas.
Mahlangu says he allowed his creative juices to flow and created the laptop during lockdown.
“When I was still in school, for me to get a laptop, it was a luxury. So, I was at that point where I saw that because of this pandemic, a lot of people will be doing things online and it’s time for me to create something which is going to be affordable for them to buy. I know a lot of people, it’s going to be hard for them to buy these expensive laptops.”
