Ngulube is proud to announce at the time of writing that the service has just hit 10,000 downloads on the Google Play store . “ The total registrations today were 22,000 . So , 12,000 on USSD and 10,000 on the apps is considerable progress , given that we have spent a lot of time without a functioning mobile solution . It is also interesting to see the growth on the USSD channel , because initially we had most of the downloads coming through on the app . But then , all of a sudden , we saw a strong shift on the USSD side . In this case , that ’ s where we expect most of the traffic . So , we made some good traction there . Right now , we are still at the stage of trying to get more and more customers onto the platform given our customer base of 150,000 .”
