Community

Built in Kayamandi. Built for opportunity.

SM Digital Ventures is rooted in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch.

We believe technology can be built from communities, not simply for them.

SM Digital Ventures is working toward establishing a community-facing business and technology base in Kayamandi, providing parents, schools and community partners with a professional physical point of contact alongside our online platforms.

Planned: a community base in Kayamandi. Not yet secured.
