PRESS STATEMENT - MySA Condemns Removal of Official Facebook Accounts Amid Rapid Platform Growth South Africa – 16/02/2026 MySA, South Africa’s independent and rapidly growing local social network, confirms that its main Facebook account and official Facebook page have been removed from the Facebook platform following a period of significant traction, growth, and public engagement. This action comes after MySA successfully expanded its digital footprint, attracting increasing numbers of South African users seeking a verified, community-driven alternative to global platforms. Despite complying with Facebook’s security verification processes and completing all required identity checks, our primary account and page were permanently removed without transparent justification. At the same time, the Facebook ecosystem continues to be flooded with fraudulent and impersonation accounts that operate freely. Fake profiles are routinely able to register, send unsolicited messages, promote scams, and misuse the names and likenesses of public figures without restriction. These accounts often remain active despite repeated reports from legitimate users and businesses. The removal of MySA’s official presence, while fraudulent accounts remain operational, raises serious concerns about platform governance, competitive neutrality, and fair digital access within South Africa. MySA is not a spam network. MySA is not a fraudulent operation. MySA is a legitimate South African technology initiative designed to provide: • A verified-user environment • Greater transparency for businesses • Safer community interaction • Local economic empowerment • Reduced exposure to scam and impersonation profiles As a growing local social network, MySA represents innovation and competition within the digital space. Competition is a healthy and necessary part of technological progress. The removal of a legitimate competitor’s account, particularly during a period of growth and public visibility, inevitably raises questions about equal treatment and digital fairness. We categorically reject any implication that our platform violated community standards. We completed required verification procedures in good faith. We were transparent in our operations. We engaged openly with users and businesses. Yet our accounts were removed while malicious actors continue to operate uninterrupted. This situation highlights a broader issue affecting businesses and creators across South Africa: Real accounts are scrutinized and restricted, while automated scam profiles continue to flourish. MySA will not be silenced. We remain fully operational via our official platform here. We encourage our community, partners, and supporters to connect with us directly on our platform as we continue building a safer, verified, proudly South African digital ecosystem. We also call for transparency from global social media platforms operating in South Africa regarding: • Account removal procedures • Appeals transparency • Competitive neutrality • Enforcement consistency Digital platforms hold immense influence over public communication and business visibility. With that influence comes responsibility. MySA remains committed to empowering South African users, entrepreneurs, and communities. We will continue to innovate, expand, and provide an alternative space where authenticity and accountability matter. We remain fully open and transparent in our approach to competition, and we state unequivocally that we would never remove or restrict Facebook should they choose to operate an official profile or page on our network — because we are not threatened by competition, and we are confident in demonstrating, openly and fairly, how our platform model differs and why we believe it serves users and businesses in a stronger, more accountable way.

2026 Has Started. The Question Is — Has Your Business? The festive season came and went in a blink. The first full week of 2026 is already behind us — and now it’s time to get back into gear. There is no time to waste. And there is no better time than right now. At Mysatech South Africa, we don’t play games when it comes to real online exposure and measurable visibility for our clients. Let’s talk facts — not hype. Many established businesses proudly display Facebook pages with thousands of followers. But here’s the real question that matters: How many likes, comments, enquiries, or bookings do you actually receive per post? If you have 2,000 followers and struggle to reach even 20 interactions, that means less than 1% of your audience is seeing or engaging with your content. That isn’t marketing. That’s being invisible in a crowded market. Businesses don’t advertise for entertainment. They advertise to be seen, to be engaged with, and to convert visibility into real leads and real sales. If your business isn’t getting the right attention, it simply cannot work in your favour. This is where we are different. Through our official partnership with MySA, we give businesses structured, measurable exposure — not guesswork and not inflated numbers. With more than 81,000 pages already discovered and indexed by Google, our network proves visibility where it matters most: where customers are actually searching. We don’t claim leadership — we demonstrate it through delivery and results. The smart businesses have already reached out. They are already scheduled to be actively promoted from next week across more than just social media platforms. So the real question is this: Can your business truly be found right now? Or does investing as little as R25 per month become the most powerful step you take this year to ensure your business is seen, trusted, and chosen? Like our page and stay connected. Major announcements are coming next week — and they are designed for businesses that want to be found, not forgotten, in 2026. The market is crowded. Make sure your business stands out. #MySA #Mysatech #Marketing #Advertising

We are excited to announce that we are now entering the final seven days of development before the official public launch of our exclusive systems. While we could begin as early as tomorrow, something far bigger is in motion. For that reason, we have strategically shifted the main national public release across South Africa to Monday, 12 January 2026. This moment is part of a much larger turning wheel — and we cannot wait to take you along on the full journey. The wait will be worth it. Over the coming week, we encourage everyone to remain active on the social network. What unfolds during these days is not random — it is a carefully planned build-up toward a major new-era event. Each day will introduce something new, laying the foundation for what is to come. If you believe this is simply an upgraded social network, a marketing and advertising platform, or a collection of services — then you are not fully in the loop yet. We are stepping up the game like never before. This is not about adding ourselves to the internet to be found. We are upgrading the internet itself. We delayed slightly to allow key companies to return to work and complete the final phases — because what is being launched has never been done before. It is beyond unique, beyond conventional platforms, and beyond anything currently online. As this unfolds, you will see us appear in the news through official articles and publications. You’ll be able to follow the journey across MySA’s official pages, our social media platforms, and multiple digital channels as everything comes together. This is a transformation. This is a shift. This is the beginning of a new era of being online. Get ready. Stay close. Come back every day. You will want to be here as it all unfolds. Welcome to the new era. #MySA #NewEra

So why are you seeing older posts in your timeline, well its a new smart system. Our own AI is currently learning the behavior of all users and to see which post trend more than others. In the end the most interactive posts will be structured to be shown to users to ensure they see more relevant content they will enjoy. Everyone uses online social media platforms for different reasons and that is what the system is doing. If you like following friends and their activity, then those posts will be shown more. If you prefer to see content about baking or cars then the system will source the most relevant content and display that for you as well. Right now this baby AI is in her first development stage, so please understand that she is learning constantly and will soon offer you better and better functionality and relevant content. #AI
