Mxit to Launch New Safety Control
Mxit, a mobile chat and information-sharing service which has up to 10 million users, will introduce a new parental-control function that will allow parents to disable adult or public chatrooms for minors.
The move comes after a newspaper report that that 21-year-old Jean- Pierre Botes allegedly lured two Pretoria schoolgirls to his home after chatting to them on MXit.
MXit chief executive, Herman Heunis, points out that the company hopes to implement the feature before the school holidays.
