Social media giants, Facebook has moved its Johannesburg offices into new premises in a bid to expand its reach and saturation in Africa.
The launch will see Facebook create a new home from which it will work with partners to boost innovation and provide solutions to business owners in Africa.
The new office is expected to continue to provide support to Facebook advertisers, application developers and other key partners across Africa.
Since 2015 the number of people connected to Facebook across Africa has grown to 42% to over 170 million monthly active users. Of these, 94% come back on mobile. The Facebook team in Africa has grown alongside the number of people and businesses who use it and its ecosystem of developers, entrepreneurs and business partners.
Facebook executives Carolyn Everson, VP Global Marketing Solutions at the new office launch said, "Facebook is deeply committed to Africa, a mobile-first continent where seven in 10 of all connected people use the platform."
"We're also seeing growth of small and medium-sized businesses that are driving economic development, companies that Facebook wants to help grow locally and regionally across the continent. Our new offices are part of our ongoing commitment to invest in the African market and work with innovators across our key target countries.”
