Founded in 2018, we offer a ride-hailing app focused on serving all communities, with a target of 1 million downloads within 6 months. We are home-grown – our offices and servers are here, and we are accessible and open to dialogue. We want to give Southern Africans a Southern African way of travelling.
In-app SOS, panic-button support (required for e-hailing vehicles under the NLTA amendments), live trip sharing and dispatch chat on every screen.
Online driver etiquette training with a test and a verifiable Certificate of Attendance and Certification.
Student, airport and work-commute bundles; riders can offer a fare; cash, card and wallet.
Automated dispatch, document checks, training, reminders, reporting and support workflows keep overheads low.

Multi-country, multi-currency platform configured for South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique.

The Southern African Development Community spans 16 member states. Urban commuters, students and airport travellers need safe, affordable and reliable transport – and e-hailing is now a recognised, licensed public-transport service in South Africa.
The National Land Transport Amendment Act 23 of 2023 came into force on 12 September 2025, defining e-hailing and requiring e-hailing operating licences and registered platforms.
Students, shift workers and airport travellers benefit from predictable bundles instead of surge pricing.
One platform, configured per country and currency, ready to expand beyond South Africa.
