June 11, 2020, marked a significant milestone in the digital landscape as Cassava Fintech International, a subsidiary of Econet, launched Sasai TeamTalk, a free voice and video conferencing service.

The service, which allows up to 20 people to join a single call, is designed to ease communication and transactions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Darlington Mandivenga, CFI's chief executive, Sasai TeamTalk offers a secure end-to-end encryption, a feature that sets it apart from telcos and most other social media platforms.

“Sasai TeamTalk will offer free voice and video conference service, with secure end-to-end encryption, that connects up to 20 people on a single call,” Mandivenga said.

The Sasai App, which was launched in August 2019, is already being used in 180 countries across the globe, including every African country.

With Sasai TeamTalk, families, friends, and even religious groups can get together and interact freely, regardless of their geographical location.
