Sembuse was launched in March 2009 by Symbiotic Media. Symbiotic created a little application that makes it easy and so damn cheap for Africans in Africa and around the world to communicate as well as create value for them and the advertisers who support us.

With Sembuse you can say a simple habari (hello!) or tell the details of your weekend without thinking of the limiting constraints of regular sms at 160 characters or without having to result to cryptic SMS jargon that would leave the reader dumbfounded.

Through strategic long-term partnerships, Sembuse tables its premium offerings such as getting stock market advice, sports videos and other niche content that would not be regularly found in the open market. We operate our own online credit system the Zunguka Credo (Cr), which helps us to deliver better value across the globe by creating a medium of exchange that users the world over can identify with. 1 Cr = KSHS 0.5 (UScts 0.6)
