@coola: Stellenbosch-based Clockspeed Mobile makes games for phones but they're not quite in the league of say Gameloft or THQ but still it's a start.
SA Game Development is the closest I could find doing any sort of publishing on consoles.

@bongzino: Are you into programming?
Clockspeed's games are quite basic...saw in a press release that they've got a deal to supply games to China Mobile.

Talking of mxit, I never quite got the hang of it so I deleted it off my phone. Don't quite get why I have to pay for moola when I do it for free.

That means the gaming market is still unexplored in Africa. I saw a documentary on Korea's gaming/comics industry. Those guys are world-class. What's up Africa?

We just don't have enough talent to produce top quality games.

@Brix I am into programming. It just that I don't have enough time to play with mobile development.
South Africans / Africans have good programmers, We are lacking ideas. Anyway before you know it. There will be Bongzino Application (TM) giving you world class mobile applications watch the space ! |

If someone can write a Java/Symbian application that allows me to control my DVD Recorder and switch on the lights in my apartment I'd be forever grateful and he'd be swimming in Bill Gates money.

It'll probably be a 12year-old who'll end up writing the best game ever seen... Their imagination is boundless. When did we, as adults, lose our power to dream? Sometimes i wish life had "BACK" and "RELOAD" buttons...
