Someone in this valley can fix that.
A directory of self-employed people from Imizamo Yethu, Hangberg and the wider valley. We meet everyone in person before they are listed, and it is free to be on here — for good.
We're signing people up right now
This directory goes live once we have met and verified 100 providers — a half-empty list helps nobody and costs the people on it the trust they need. We are running sign-up days with community structures in Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg now.
Do you work for yourself in Hout Bay? Get on the list. It costs nothing, it always will, and you do not need a website, an email address or a smartphone — just a number we can reach you on.

How this works
No commission, no lead fees, no ads
When you find someone here, you contact them directly on WhatsApp or by phone. We are not in the middle of it. We do not take a cut of the job, we do not sell leads, and providers do not pay to be listed or to rank higher.
The site is paid for by featured listings for restaurants and tour operators — businesses that can afford it. The people fixing your roof are not those businesses.
