South Africa’s CableKiosk.co.za has said it’s now accepting Bitcoin in a move to serve a more varied consumer population and run with the times.

In a blog post,  founder and CTO Andrew Lynch said: “We [Cablekiosk.co.za team] all use Bitcoin and thought it would only make sense to offer the currency to our consumers who use it as well”. Roy Mathieu Borole MD echoed Andrews’s views and stresses that “this announcement will not do away with our current payment options (Credit Card and EFT), it will add to them. As huge fans of open-source software, accepting Bitcoin will be a step in the right direction for our organization as it speaks to the core fundamentals of the company.”

Lynch added that the firm was excited about the Bitcoin payments development and hoped the move will further grow the Cablekiosk.co.za brand and continue ita legacy of great customer service and competitive pricing.
