Joined May 24, Messages 3, MXit — a mobile chat and entertainment platform - recently announced that it has surpassed the 5 million subscriber mark.

The company told MyBroadband that it currently has 5. Under its last chief executive officer CEO Francois Swart Mxit looked to introduce some clarity on its reporting methods and moved to bring Mxit in line with advertising industry standards. But in the eyes of advertisers, the damage was done, something felt particularly keenly by Mxit at a time when its user base was falling anyway.

It has been one hell of a ride at Mxit over ten years, something which may well have contributed to the general lack of direction at the company. Heunis founded it, Naspers invested in it. There were rounds of retrenchments, couple with unsustained stabs at expansion. After its early years the company never really looked settled and happy enough to succeed.

What really was Mxit anyway? A private messenger service? A community engagement platform? A public chatroom? Essentially, it tried to be all of those, especially with the rollout of Mxit 7. Trying to be all things to all people may have been one of the reasons for the companies eventual failure. Many startup founders will tell you that, in the initial days at least, it is advisable to do one thing, and do it well.

Extra features and platforms can be added later, once you have established yourself in one space. Mxit seemed to move to fast in rolling out various tenements of its platform, with the net result it did none of them particularly well and was unable to focus.
