South Africa is now coming to terms with the disruption of the on-demand model with local on platforms rivaling global ones. We have seen Bolt<\/a> (previously Taxify) take on Uber<\/a>, Mr D Food<\/a> & OrderIn<\/a> take on Uber Eats and HonestCare<\/a> & Nunanny<\/a> in the on-demand nanny space.<\/p>\n

With StatsSA\u2019s announcement that South Africa\u2019s unemployment rate is at 29% for the second quarter of 2019, the highest it has been since Q1 2008, the next industry to be disrupted in the on-demand space will certainly be staffing. Sweepsouth<\/a> have lead the way with on-demand maid services which has accumulated over 5 million hours of cleaning through their platform showing that the South African market is very comfortable with the concept of inviting rated and reviewed professionals to their home.<\/p>\n

SweepSouth identified a problem that the market needed solving. I am sure you can relate; you didn\u2019t need someone to clean your home everyday right? And you were looking for a temporary housekeeper to clean their home once a week. They knew many maids were looking for more work but before SweepSouth there was no way for you to connect with them seamlessly.<\/p>\n

This is one, small industry where more jobs have been created by an on-demand model. This being said, the question remains whether this can be replicated throughout many industries. Let\u2019s see what our Twitter audience thought. Do you agree?<\/p>\n
