Flex Urban - A Brief History

Flex Urban was founded in 2015 by Nhlanhla Mazibuko with a vision to celebrate urban culture and lifestyle through an online blog. Within a year, Flex Urban expanded its scope to cover events, showcase local artists’ music, and promote emerging designs online. This evolution led to the establishment of an online marketplace, facilitating artists and entrepreneurs in selling and promoting their products.

By 2022, recognizing the need to address larger societal issues, Flex Urban embarked on a pivot from its original blog and online market model. The focus shifted towards tackling pressing global challenges, with a particular emphasis on the water crisis. This marked the beginning of a new direction for Flex Urban.

In 2023, Flex Urban fully committed its resources and efforts to confront the escalating water crisis worldwide. This pivotal moment catalyzed the development of the Solar Mist device – a modular solution designed to operate in various environments, including homes, businesses, off-grid properties, and integrated into Agrivoltaic farms, known as HydroAgrivoltaic farming.

Currently, Flex Urban is at the forefront of product development, passionately driven by the potential of the Solar Mist device to revolutionize water access and address critical environmental challenges. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and sustainability, Flex Urban eagerly anticipates the impact it will make in the future.

About Our Founder

Nhlanhla Mazibuko is a dynamic serial entrepreneur with a passion for driving positive change. A drop out who studied Civil Engineering from the University of Johannesburg, his journey into entrepreneurship began in 2015 while working as a Site Agent. It was then that he founded his first start-up, Flex Urban, initially an urban culture blog that evolved into an online marketplace showcasing local artists and brands. In 2019, driven by a desire to make a tangible impact on the planet, Nhlanhla founded Mazibuko Motor Company. This innovative venture focuses on developing battery-electric vehicles and clean energy solutions, aiming to reshape the automotive industry while promoting sustainability. A pivotal moment came in 2023 when Nhlanhla recognised the pressing global issue of water scarcity. Determined to address this challenge, he pivoted Flex Urban from web and app development to tackling the water crisis. Thus, the Solar Mist device was born—a revolutionary technology harnessing solar power to transform air moisture into fresh drinking water.
