In an exciting development for South Africa’s youth and content creators, the 2024 South African Influencer Benchmark Report recently highlighted that the country is home to over 75,000 influencers across various niches like fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and travel. This surge in content creation not only reflects a vibrant digital landscape but also indicates the increasing economic potential of influencers, aligning with global trends. It seems that the youth in South Africa are not just passive consumers of content; they are taking the reins as creators and innovators in the digital space.
To celebrate Youth Month this year under the inspiring theme of ‘Skills for the Changing World—Empowering Youth for Meaningful Economic Participation,’ Vodacom has stepped up to support budding content creators with the launch of their new data bundle tailored specifically for its NXT LVL (next level) program. “This year, we felt it was essential to craft a bundle that resonates with the 2025 Youth Month theme and addresses the unique needs of our youth, particularly content creators,” explains Mathys Venter, Managing Executive for Prepaid and Loyalty at Vodacom South Africa.
The value-packed Super Content bundle is designed to make digital engagement easier and more affordable for young creators at a time when financial constraints are increasingly prevalent. As part of this initiative, NXT LVL members will also enjoy exclusive rewards and gain access to a series of zero-rated digital skills training sessions provided through Microsoft. It’s a move that not only supports content creation but also enhances digital literacy and skills development among South Africa’s youth.
Furthermore, as a fun bonus on Youth Day, celebrated on June 16, NXT LVL customers can redeem a complimentary original glazed doughnut at any Krispy Kreme outlet nationwide. This sweet incentive adds another layer of excitement for those participating in the program.
“The NXT LVL initiative, combined with our new Super Content bundle, is designed not just to facilitate social engagement but to empower a new generation of leaders and creators,” Venter adds confidently. This proactive approach by Vodacom showcases their commitment to fostering an environment where young South Africans can thrive.
For those eager to explore these offerings and transform their digital presence, signing up for the NXT LVL program is simple. Just download the VodaPay app and follow the prompts to unlock NXT LVL rewards.
With Vodacom’s robust support and the budding creativity of the youth, South Africa is set to shine in the realm of digital content creation. The future looks bright for influencers, and it’s clear that the nation is on the cusp of something special!
