EskomSePush: We're Ready for Stage 16!

In this episode of The Carol Ofori Podcast, the first for Season three, Carol speaks with Dan Southwood-Wells, one of the founders of the wildly popular EskomSePush app. They discuss its origins, and how financially lucrative it has been for them, plus share their plans and predictions for the country regarding loadshedding. Southwood-Wells explains why and how the idea for the EskomSePush app originated and reveals how the name was chosen – and no, it’s not what you think! When asked about their efficiency in updating the app following Eskom's announcements, Southwood-Wells clarifies they don’t have a personal relationship with the power utility or any municipalities. "We operate 100 percent in the public and have no formal relationship or secret handshakes with any municipality or Eskom," he tells Carol. Southwood-Wells notes that the EskomSePush ‘team’ consists of just three people. So, how lucrative has the app been, and what impact do they feel? Find out by listening to the full conversation.
