Its LN enabled, basically a wallet of satoshi with a USSD menu instead of an app, so is interoperable with all LN wallets, just reduces the barrier to entry and gives feature phone users a custodial LN wallet

The service is using Africa's Talking USSD short codes, (the "shared" channel, not a dedicated). So this means they could add support for another three countries, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia. Since there are usage and monthly charges for the service Machankura has likely chosen just the six largest markets (for bitcoin adoption) to have at launch.
