01About

Uhuru means freedom.

Founded
2025
Based
Pretoria, Gauteng
Uhuru is Swahili for freedom. We exist to give business owners freedom from busywork: the repetitive tasks that quietly eat their week.

02 Mission

Time is the product.

Uhuru builds custom software and automation for small and medium businesses across Africa, from our base in South Africa.

We design systems that take over data entry, reporting, enquiries, calls and follow-ups, so people can spend their time on the work only people can do. We are AI specialists, and we use it where it earns its place. What you notice is the time you get back.

We build for African realities from day one: power cuts, patchy bandwidth, data protection and budgets that have to earn their keep. And we price on value, typically 10-20% of the return we deliver, because our success should depend on yours.

03 Founder

Tsolo Moahloli

Tsolo Moahloli founded Uhuru in 2025 with a simple belief: African business owners deserve the same quality of software and automation as global giants, built for local conditions and priced on results.

I kept meeting good businesses losing their best hours to copying, chasing and reconciling, while the software that could help was built for somewhere else.

So we build for here. Accounting that clears every invoice with Revenue Services Lesotho, in Sesotho or English. Audit software that never lets a claim overwrite a test. A solar directory that lists only installers someone has checked.

I care less about the technology than what it gives back. If a system does not give a business its time back, it is not finished.

04 Values

How we work.

  1. 01

    Time is the point

    We measure success in hours given back, not features shipped.

  2. 02

    Honest numbers

    We say "typically" because results vary. We only charge on value delivered.

  3. 03

    Built for here

    African conditions are a design input, not an afterthought.

  4. 04

    Calm craft

    Simple systems, carefully built, that people actually enjoy using.

05 Built for Africa

Local conditions are a design input.

  • Power cuts

    Every workflow queues work and retries safely. Nothing is lost when the power drops.

  • Bandwidth

    Interfaces and integrations designed to stay usable on slow or patchy connections.

  • Data protection

    Consent, purpose limitation, access control and retention built into every system, to POPIA standards.

  • Your hours

    Support from South Africa, on hours that overlap the working day across the continent.
