JOHANNESBURG - South Africa threw back their Thursday this week by reminiscing about the good old days on the popular chatting application, Mxit.
The hashtag Mxit trended all throughout Thursday on the social media website, Twitter.
Mxit was a heavily used chatting app that was used during the 2000's, however, the company announced its closure in October 2015 as it succumbed to its competition such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Facebook and the other social giants of the world.
Take a look at how South Africans commemorated the app on Twitter today:
When I was 15, I once traveled from Thohoyandou to Polokwane to meet my Mxit gf. I used my school fees of R500 and went there

To cut the long story short, we are engaged with 1 baby girl and we stay together. 😍😍
Mxit made our parents to think we are demonic possessed because we would laugh alone under the blankets midnight pic.twitter.com/PEBDOQ9LFo
