A yearning to create and develop something of my own. The idea of
being my own boss, growing my own business, helping develop Namibia was
what I was born to do…I just knew it.
With the rapid developments in technology and the sheer level of
innovation around the world my dreams became bigger, brighter and
seemingly ever more within reach. But, being in Namibia and being a
Namibian, they were always just beyond my grasp.
That was until last year when I finally eschewed the beaten path and
decided to strike out on my own and launch the LEFA Transportation
services, a ride-hailing app for Windhoek and in future for the whole of
Namibia.
With a stable, fast internet now available almost everywhere in
Windhoek, smartphones becoming the norm it seemed the perfect time to
introduce a ride-hailing app. Almost every other country had its
transportation status quo disrupted by a ride-hailing application, there
was no reason why Windhoek should not follow suit.
With a dream, a small team and sadly a shoestring budget we set to
work to creating this app for the people and bringing online services to
Namibians.
