TikTok LIVE South Africa

I saw what TikTok LIVE was doing overseas. South Africa wasn't ready. So I built the system.

Live Commerce is the future for brands

I am Roonie Mutsinze. I head the TikTok LIVE and TikTok Shop division at GrowthCharter one of South Africa’s leading TikTok agencies. I have been building and LIVE selling systems for South African brands for a year, before most people in this country had even heard the term ‘live commerce.’

What I noticed early on: TikTok LIVE was already generating millions in revenue for brands in the US, UK, and Southeast Asia. But South African brands were watching from the sidelines. Not because they weren’t interested, because nobody had built the playbook for this market.

So I built it. Host briefs, session structures, product sequencing frameworks, pre-LIVE promotion timelines, post-stream analytics systems. The full operating system for selling live on TikTok is built for South Africa, tested in South Africa, running in South Africa.

TikTok Shop is coming to South Africa. The brands that will own the space are the ones building now. That is what I help them do.
