Cape Town · Est. local

Connecting local workers to local opportunities.

Find trusted gardeners, cleaners, painters and handymen working right in your suburb — vouched for by your neighbours.

After the job

Pay, vouch, refer — in that order

Customers pay no platform fee and need no money-transfer account. You pay Ekasi by card or EFT, your worker withdraws cash at Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Boxer, PEP or Usave. Ekasi takes a 10% service fee from the worker's payout — never on top of your price.

  1. 1
    Pay safely

    Card or EFT → straight into their Ekasi Wallet.

  2. 2
    Vouch for trust

    A customer vouch carries more weight than a neighbour's.

  3. 3
    Refer a neighbour

    Share their QR — help them keep working.

Trust & vetting

How we build trust in workers

Every worker goes through a 4-step community process before they're listed — plus optional ID verification with our partner Didit.
