IN a bid to make it easy for Zimbabweans and Africans to meet and make new friendships and relationships Zimbabwean entrepreneur and app developer, Tafadzwa Mungwadzi has launched a dating app.
The application is called Mungs and is available on www.mungs.africa. The application is working on an Android mobile application whilst the developers are working on getting it on Apple.
“Basically the application is meant to connect people who are looking for love and friendships. The application has a discussion forum where the administrator can post a topic and the users can anonymously post their comments in response,” he said.
On the issues of cyber security Mungwadzi said the app is secure for every user and protects everyone’s identity.
“Should a user experience crime or feel abused in any form they have the option to unmatch the person that endangers their lives and report that user via the app. Once a user has been reported, his or her profile is immediately blocked and will not be visible to other users.
“When users create a Mungs profile, they input their cellphone numbers and then receive an SMS with a One Time Pin. This OTP helps us to authenticate the cellphone number used to create a Mungs profile. Without authenticating the cellphone number used, no user will be able to use our app,” he said.
Currently, the app is available in Zimbabwe and South Africa and the developer is working on expanding to other countries soon.
