Tech Central has reported that South Africa’s most Twitter-famous CEO, Michael Jordaan has joined Mxit as Chairman of the Board. The appointment is immediate. Because Jordaan has not yet vacated his CEO position at FNB, he will not draw a salary from Mxit or take a stake in the company for the time being.

Here’s the lowdown from MJ:

I have been watching Mxit with interest for several years now. It is difficult not to have a sense of pride about a homegrown South African company making such an impact in the social media and mobile space. It was an easy decision to join as chairman and I am looking forward to playing a part in the future of Mxit, both in South Africa and internationally.

Mxit is a really cool company and has built some world-first innovations over the last eight years. I have spent some time with their development and design team and they have shown me some of the projects they are working on, especially in the smartphone space. I look forward to the announcements that are planned over the next few months.
