A Worldwide Marketplace for African Businesses
Alexandria, VA – On April 15, 2007. Congoboston has learned about and presents to our viewers, Wenze.com - A division of Alkatek, Inc. This is a portal and cyber marketplace for African entrepreneurs or anyone who wishes to do business with the African communities worldwide. It’s been around for quiet a while…and more to come in our exclusive interview with them.
The word “Wenze” means “Market Place” and it is borrowed from “Lingala”, an African language spoken at a national scale in at least three African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo and in parts of the Central African Republic.
Associating itself to the African heritage, revealing a commitment to help Africans and their partners to market worldwide, Wenze.com, just as the word “Wenze” articulates in the Lingala language, transcends African borders and the world with help of the concept of e-commerce to uniting common interests of the people.
For our information, and gazing at its solid melodious flavors and its legendary role in the culture of commerce in Kinshasa’s streets (the capital of the DR Congo) the “Lingala” language has been, for decades, a tremendous cultural vehicle of lyrics and dances among African artists … from Abidjan to Japan with Papa Wemba, from Jamaica with Jimmy Cliff to the Caribbean band Kassav’. Today, “Lingala” has been explicitly, for that fact, “nominated” behind its stature of the African Language of Arts, I would say without making a mountain out of a molehill. Lingala, long time a help to the retailing and exchange of goods has become a “must” for a successful career in the African trade and show-biz.
With Wenze.com, bringing in that “Lingala” concept in the e-commerce, simply innovates excellence in the African marketplace, while its idea is to offer a great e-business experience that will be a far rewarding “marketplace”. Bottom line: Everyone who signs up with Wenze.com is guaranteed of a safe and trustworthy experience doing e-business!
More about Wenze.com and people behind this initiative is to come, with exclusive interviews and news coverage on Congoboston.com …
