Afrihost started in 2000 as a website hosting company and in 2009 they entered the internet market.
Afrihost Brand and Marketing Manager, Conrad de Beer, joins Yolanda Maartens to share their 25th birthday celebration plans:
This July, Afrihost is trading office chairs for car seats as the team sets off on the Pure Joy Road Trip – a nationwide journey to celebrate 25 years of keeping South Africa connected.
As one of SA’s most trusted internet service providers, Afrihost is turning the spotlight onto its real success story – the clients who’ve made the last quarter-century possible. From those who joined the family just a year ago, to loyal users who’ve been with Afrihost for over 20 years, the team will be visiting 25 standout clients across the country, each with their own unique journey and stories to tell.
But this isn’t your average corporate milestone celebration. True to their spirit, Afrihost is all about spreading pure joy – celebrating the moments that bring clients happiness, connection, and even a few laughs, all while capturing it on the road. Each stop will include interviews with clients to find out what brings them joy in life, not just online.
The road trip kicks off along the beautiful South Coast, heading through Cape Town, Bloemfontein, and eventually back to Gauteng. Along the way, the Afrihost team will be sharing the sights, sounds, and stories from their travels.
After 25 years, Afrihost is still doing what they do best: connecting people – not just to the internet, but to what matters most.
