As the country observes 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children while reeling from allegations of rape and sexual misconduct against TV presenter and musician Jub Jub, a small company has launched an application to help stem gender-based violence.

“Every morning we [wake up to] news of something horrible happening to a woman or child. This sparked four individuals from different backgrounds to come together to create the strongest solution possible,” says Eyerus founder and funder Robert Bentele.

You’re probably familiar with Bentele if you follow reality TV show Survivor SA. He won the seventh season in 2019.

Bentele worked in collaboration with a group that includes Sibusiso Mbhele, who he says “has a deep knowledge and background in telematics, vehicle tracking and fleet management”; Sakhi Ngwenya, who owns a prominent security company; and businessman Phumlani Ngwenya. Their efforts have garnered the support and influence of Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini.
