Kempton tech genius launches an app
The app is targeted at traders, bankers, investors, as well as fintech service providers in trading, crypto, asset management, investment and so on.
A 26-year-old man from Kempton Park has invented an app that aims to empower users of all levels by providing a comprehensive, user-friendly platform for accessing fintech solutions, fostering a supportive community and offering valuable educational resources.
Giyani Ephraim Mduli said the difficulty of accessing fintech solutions inspired him to create TradeHunt.
“I noticed that many people in Africa struggle with limited access to financial services, which can hinder their economic development.

“That’s why I created TradeHunt to provide them with secure and accessible financial tools and information they would have never known of.
“In the app, you are able to browse the listed fintech solutions, read about them by clicking on them, vote on them and comment on them. You are able to access daily financial and technology news,” he added.
“Lastly, we have included a threads section where you are able to share, discuss, comment, and ask questions daily.”
Mduli described TradeHunt as a fintech networking platform. Like a social network, it facilitates communication and community building. But unlike most social networks it is focused on the fintech space.
It is targeted at traders, bankers, and investors, as well as fintech service providers in trading, crypto, asset management, investment and more.
The app was established on July 10 last year. Many solutions exist in South Africa and Africa, although people aren’t aware of those applications, websites and solutions.

Mduli is the founder and CEO of TradeHunt, a marketing and branding strategist under Hlokomelo Marketing, and a mentor with Excell at UNI.
He is currently a Foya Awards nominee for Techpreneur of the Year 30 under 30 South Africa.
Mduli is a graduate with a degree in management marketing.
The app is free and will remain free for users to build communities and create a thriving fintech ecosystem.
“I have not designed any apps before. This was my first one and I nailed it.
“I do plan on launching a vendor-based financial application which will help people purchase from vendors using QR codes, NFC tap and many more financial solutions to assist Farmers, taxi owners and young start-up
entrepreneurs.”
