Q. Why would I use this software?
Instead of surfing and clicking away at internet pages, you can enter your criteria into Zanzi and go to sleep. The application will search for you. In the morning you can view a matrix comparison of results found based on your search criteria. It does not get easier than that!

Q. What is the meaning of Zanzi
In the conception phase of the project, it was meant to be a network tool for christians to share information with. This networks range was initially between South Africa (ZA) and New Zealand (NZ). The last letter (I) stands for information. The Project name therefore became ZANZI.
Directly translated then South African/New Zealand information network.
This does not hold true anymore, since the intended reach of the network through open source is now global. The sponsor Ops4it has opted to keep the name for its historic value.
