I started Saleboat when I was in second year at Wits, I took the company from a varsity project to a growing SaaS platform in over 30 countries (My brother and I started it with our Barmie money). In 2022 just after Covid I co-founded VezoPay which was my first bootstrapped venture, we have contract with 4 major banks in South Africa, and growing fast, we’ve received investment from some of the most influential fin-tech investors on the Continent including Phuti Mhanyale (Naspers CEO) as well as Jonathan Smit (Founder – Payfast)

My vision: Scale VezoPay to multiple countries and revenue streams while Saleboat continues to organically grow its foothold. short answer. Show the world what most South Africans already know, there is incredible talent here, you don’t need to look at silicon valley or the likes to find innovation.
