The South African cleaning services business targets a billion-dollar valuation amid plans to add a slew of new services on the platform and further expansion.

SweepSouth has expanded to offer other types of outdoor services, including heavy lifting, garage cleaning, car washing and window cleaning.

The mobile and web-based app has seen significant growth since inception, creating employment for over 33 000 SweepStars who were previously unemployed or under-employed, and has paid out millions of rands in salaries. Discussing her long-term vision, Kriel explains: “When you look at this market, in SA and globally, there is no Uber-size or Amazon-size business for home cleaning service yet. So, my long-term vision − and I can confidently say we are working towards that – is to become a globally recognised name for home services.
