In this episode of The
Carol Ofori Podcast, Carol speaks with Dan Southwood-Wells, one of the
founders of the wildly popular EskomSePush app. They discuss its origins, and
how financially lucrative it has been for them, plus share their plans and
predictions for the country regarding loadshedding.

Season three of The Carol Ofori Podcast kicks off with an enlightening conversation with Dan Southwood-Wells, one of the founders of the South African ‘life-saving app,’ EskomSePush.
Southwood-Wells explains why and how the idea for the EskomSePush app originated and reveals how the name was chosen – and no, it’s not what you think!
When asked about their efficiency in updating the app following Eskom's announcements, Southwood-Wells clarifies they don’t have a personal relationship with the power utility or any municipalities.
