ABOUT US
“Grabit (Pty) Ltd started off as a matric IT project and for a few months, I thought that was all it might be. However, one day toward the end of 2022, the number of comments from parents on the ever-rising cost of putting their kids through school inspired me to make a change.
In early 2023 I tested the waters with a quantitative study of parents and found an overwhelmingly positive response to the idea. Whilst studying my first year of Mechatronics at Stellenbosch University, I decided to turn my project into a business with the help of an expert software development company, and we have been constantly innovating ever since.
We are now in the final phase of implementing Grabit at St John’s College and we have received excellent feedback from Laerskool De Hoop, Potchefstroom Gimnasium, and Laerskool Mooirivier for our plans to serve them in the coming months.
We intend to extend our reach to as many school communities as possible so that we can leave a long-lasting positive impact on parents, their children, the school and the environment wherever we go.”
