Amunzi was an African-based social networking service launched on October 24, 2012, owned and operated by XyPNET Limited.

The site was similar to other social networks in a way that users receive automatic notifications whenever there are updates from their Community members.

The site's name which was coined by Clive Simanansa, the President of Amunzi, originates from a Bantu word, “Munzi” which means Community, Home or Village depending on which context it is being used.

[1] Amunzi was founded by Tresford Himanansa II in June 2011, in his bedroom at his parents’ home in Ndola, Zambia.

He led almost the entire design of Amunzi's service and development of its core features, technology as well as infrastructure.

In 2012, Tresford observed the rise in the number of Features being suggested by the users every day, and after taking some general routines from the structure of the site, he started coding the new Version which he called “Amunzi Reloaded”.
