Tumbo aims to be a digital community engagement platform designed for residents, businesses, and government and non-governmental institutions in the Nkangala District, Mpumalanga. Its mission is to bridge data gaps, foster community engagement, and facilitate access to opportunities, ultimately driving social and economic development.
A key innovation within this ecosystem is Tumbo.biz, a specialized platform designed to optimize developmental efforts and reduce duplication of projects in communities, particularly in areas with multiple mining operations.
Tumbo.biz serves as a business intelligence and coordination hub, ensuring that social and labour projects undertaken by different stakeholders—corporate, government, and non- governmental organizations—are aligned for maximum impact.

Together, Tumbo and Tumbo.biz create a seamless, data-driven approach to community development, ensuring that resources are effectively allocated, opportunities reach the right people, and digital engagement drives long-term socio-economic transformation. As Tumbo prepares for its official launch on April 27, 2025, it aims to become a cornerstone of digital community integration in South Africa, empowering individuals and businesses while fostering a more connected and resilient society.
