Understanding the Facebook (WhatsAp) vs Tencent (WeChat) war a little better. blogs.hbr.org/2014/04/why-facebook-should-worry-about-tencent/ I personally feel that if Naspers / TenCent / WeChat South Africa continue marketing the way that have been Facebook & WhatsApp will continue to reign in South Africa and Africa. WeChat in South Africa are really not doing a great job of getting user adoption. But if WeChat in South Africa decide to focus on going after a core demographic of users and understand how to get mass user adoption in South Africa, WeChat certainly has a chance of penetrating the South African & African Market. WeChat truly is a great product. As per WeChat Wiki Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeChat They had 600 millions users worldwide in October 2013. Sure its a fortune more right now. Plus the WeChat product offers a lot of interesting verticals!
