“The project has been progressing well and has reached a stage where the developer is currently looking for Setswana speaking testers, preferably if Setswana is your mother tongue.

“Kindly note, if you volunteer to test the Setswana voice, we would expect you to show commitment, to give your feedback and respond to queries,” explained Blind SA’s Lerato Jiyane.
