Firms in the world serve humanity to make profit, they find a need and meet it and run campaigns to help humanity but this is not always the case. As corporations grow, there have been complaints by customers and fans of how impersonal they become especially in customer care. The customer who used to be king becomes trash.

That’s what inspired 32-year-old Michael K. Ocansey to find Kuzima in Ghana.

Ocansey says Kuzima was coined from ‘Kusema’ in Swahili and it allows customers to help put an end to poor customer service by giving them an opportunity and channel to shame and praise companies that provide essential services to the people.

 

When was it launched and where?

Kuzima launched on the 26th of October at DEMO Africa in Nairobi

Who are its founders their age,education or firm behind it?

32 year old Ghanaian, Michael K. Ocansey founded the firm.

Inspired by the need to DO SOMETHING about the constant frustrations I experienced when dealing with customer service personnel and providers of services in general

Kuzima is both web and mobile based (www.kuzima.com) and available for Android (www.kuzima.com/Kuzima.apk). Users only to sign up with a nickname, email and password and immediately start shaming and praising companies. Users can also respond to other people’s comments.

How unique are you from the competition?

Kuzima is very simple to use and allows users to post comments from both our website and on twitter with the #kuzimaweb hashtag

 

Any funding, awards yet?

None yet. We haven’t looked for any.

 

Partnerships?

Yes with SMSGH in ghana to build Kuzima 4 Business. This provides add-on services for corporates

 

Challenges?

Advertising and usage. A lot of people love the idea when we pitch but just feel reluctant to post their grievances
