App designed to provide South Africans with a new and easy way to get screened for COVID-19 symptoms

"What if we can screen the entire nation on a daily basis and all at once?"

This is the question that made Kenneth Mkhonto, come up with yet another pure genius invention but this time, an App that allows its users to get screened right in the palm of their hands.

“What if we can screen the entire nation on a daily basis and all at once?” Kenneth asked.

Zihlole which translates “test yourself in Zulu,” is an App that is designed to provide South Africans with a new and easy way to get screened for COVID-19 symptoms including body temperature evaluation.

“With just any cheapest thermometer to get the accurate body temperature, users can be able to keep up to date with information concerning a required possible COVID-19 test or go for self-isolation. We chose what we want the company to see from the database then designed a dashboard that retrieves some or can be all the information from the database to be displayed on the Zihlole App, and monitored by the authority to ensure a safe working environment for employees before they can even come to work, for instance.”
