Company History

BantuVision was founded in March 2018 by Dr Robert Maweni and Mr Richmond Mouti with a vision to provide high quality, affordable services and content to an international community of customers and collaborators, as well as to develop into the leading African Game and Animation Studio. 

Having grown up together in a small village in the Kalahari Desert (Kang, Botswana) where our hobbies were largely playing video games and watching cartoons, we decided to team up to follow our passion for video games and animation – two things which had given us many great moments of enjoyment, competition and laughter in your younger days.
