The past 6 months have to be the hardest I've worked. We built a cashless system to tip car guards. One app for drivers(CarPark Payments)and another for car guards(CarPark Wallet).
Onboarded car guards at Chris Hani Crossing last week, and in a matter of days we are onto another
WATCH | Seven months ago, the City of Johannesburg lost access to all automated traffic speed cameras. The Johannesburg Metro Police Department’s contract with the service provider, Syntell, lapsed in December last year, and no replacement has been appointed yet.
Just finished reviewing our new website that the guys were working on.
It’s a small piece of the puzzle but it’s so important for the payments infrastructure we are building.
@Bikomfident Makes sense…at the same time it shows that they want to continue developing the Cbd. The first red flag about jhb Cbd was when they stopped constructing new buildings.
Today, South African football mourn the loss of a talented player whose passion, dedication, and love for the beautiful game inspired many. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, loved ones, teammates, and everyone affected by this devastating loss.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. You will never be forgotten, Jayden. 🕊️💛💚🇿🇦

Two banks. Two completely different reasons South Africa should pay attention.
First Abu Dhabi Bank just topped S&P's 2026 ranking as the biggest bank in the Middle East and Africa, ahead of Qatar National Bank. It also just won a nine year trademark fight against FNB, and now it wants an actual SA banking licence.
This isn't a retail play. FAB runs roughly 80% corporate, 20% retail, backed by Mubadala's sovereign wealth fund. What SA banks don't have is a direct pipeline to that kind of Gulf capital chasing African trade and infrastructure deals.
Standard Bank had to open a rep office in Cairo just to get close to that flow. FAB walks in with $400 billion plus already behind it.
Revolut is the opposite fight. It's not chasing corporates, it's chasing you. One app for a bank account, stock trading, crypto trading, international transfers, all with zero fees. No more juggling Capitec plus EasyEquities plus Luno. SA neobanks have pieces of this.
Nobody has all of it stitched into one banking licence yet.
Local banks aren't standing still, Discovery just added crypto trading. But this is the first time global muscle and global product design both land in SA at once, from two completely different directions.
The big five have owned this market for decades. That's about to get tested from both ends.
