21-year-old app developer forfeits his income to help matric class of 2020

This year has been tough for South African learners as they have had to swiftly adjust to remote learning during lockdown.

While he was still in high school, Finger said he thought about developing an app that could help fellow learners cope with matric.“Now, there are 15 subjects available. For a subscription fee of R10 a month, or a lump sum payment of R100 a year, all the content of the app is available. When SA went into lockdown, we stopped charging this fee,” Finger said.He said that the true reward is the messages he has received from so many grateful learners.

“I also believe that there is a way to develop an app that will allow people to write exams at home. Devices now come with cameras with microphones. “Being a category winner in the 2019 Awards brought us a lot of attention, it brought thousands of people to Matric Live. Another win could benefit us further,” he said.

“The world needs more people like Lesego – people who make a real and meaningful difference, whilst harnessing the power of technology.
