Digital Street is a South African technology and education news publisher based in Durban. Founded on July 21, 2012 by Lawrence Jugmohan, the outlet reports on how innovation, telecoms and finance intersect with everyday life. Its core output includes daily tech news, smartphone and gadget reviews, and practical guides, alongside explainers on AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing and fintech. The newsroom follows developments at major banks and mobile networks, covers local startup activity, and tracks big product launches that shape consumer behaviour.
The brand serves students and families through an Education Portal that curates matric exam timetables, past papers and results guidance from official sources. It also runs reader competitions and partnerships that anchor a loyal KwaZulu‑Natal audience while reaching readers nationwide.
