KWIKA.co.za - About Us
Find the right person for the job - most trusted by South Africans – fast and easy access
The KWIKA.co.za Services Directory is borne out of a need for casual labourers and small businesses alike, to have a reliable advertising platform on which they can market themselves to their local communities, without the usual, and often unaffordable advertising channels. We are your silent partners while we tell everyone out there about you and your skills.
Support your local communities.
KWIKA.co.za is a platform that provides local communities, with referenceable professionals, businesses, artisans and casual labourers where and when you need them, through our powerful search engines. Personal referrals are the trusted method to finding the right help. A referral by a friend or neighbour almost always gives a sense of safety and guaranteed satisfaction for the work at hand. We are that trusted friend.
There are thousands of honest, capable and willing individuals that do have the skills and practical experience to repair that broken oven, install the new geyser, build that wall, fix that leaking faucet or the tripping electrical distribution board, but they have no means to advertise themselves or their skills, have no means to provide references or exposure other than sitting on the side of the road with a scribbled board that points out a service or a profession that artisan is qualified for.
Casual or part-time Labour
Casual labourers and small businesses have become a cornerstone of our economy, and an absolute necessity in South Africa, where an excessive unemployment rate persists. Many, often highly skilled artisans and professionals, find themselves standing on street curbs in the hope of picking up the occasional odd job.
However, crime and security are also serious concerns to the communities and individual consumer alike, causing consumers to be hesitant to pick up any unknown person off the streets - here KWIKA.co.za provides a measure of security by screening all artisans and labourers listed on our website. We have copies of their ID or Passport as well as other personal details that ensure we don’t list unlikely service providers.
Emergency services or City Council works
KWIKA.co.za is also the reliable and preferred search directory to finding local Emergency services, such as in the case of an accident, fire, medical emergency, or to report council related faults such as water or power outages, potholes or leaking pipes, broken traffic lights or even animals in distress.
