— Founding Story

Why we built this.

Hustla was founded in 2026 by Hamid Wakili. The idea emerged from a problem he witnessed first-hand: the near-total absence of trust infrastructure in South Africa’s domestic employment sector — a market of millions of workers and households operating on word of mouth and paper references alone.

Wakili previously founded Rabbit Messenger, a mobile messaging platform acquired in 2018. Hustla is his return to the African market — building the verification layer that domestic employment has never had.
