"During an event one day I met a guy named Mabutho Moyo, who introduced me to events staffing. In 2014 we started an events staffing company called Moyo Recruits.
"And almost immediately things started going south, from late payments to sourcing new and reliable staff in different areas, so after two years of struggling we decided to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to solve these issues." Phakathi said they then decided they should create an"uber for staffing" which would solve many of the problems that they faced as a company.
"In 2017 I entered the idea into the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program where we won $5,000, or R63,226 at the time, which we used to develop our first prototype," said Phakathi."And in November last year, we took part in the IBM Start-up Bootcamp at Tshimologong Precinct in Braamfontein, where we won the third prize of R100,000."
