YeboWork is a South African marketplace that connects people who need work done with trusted, verified local professionals who can do it. From a leaking geyser to a full home clean, from a garden makeover to a brand-new logo, YeboWork helps you find the right pro, compare quotes, and hire with confidence — all in one place.
We are proudly South African, built for the way South Africans actually live and work.
Why we started YeboWork
Finding a reliable service provider in South Africa has always been harder than it should be. People rely on word of mouth, roadside flyers and group chats, then cross their fingers and hope the person who turns up is skilled, honest and fairly priced. Too often, they are not. On the other side, thousands of genuinely excellent tradespeople and service providers struggle to reach new customers and grow their businesses.
YeboWork exists to fix both problems at once. We give buyers a safe, transparent way to find and hire the right professional, and we give service providers a fair platform to showcase their skills, build a reputation and win more work. When trust is built into every step, everyone wins.
What makes YeboWork different
Verified people, not anonymous numbers. Service providers on YeboWork can be ID-verified, so you know who you are dealing with. Verification is at the heart of how we build trust — for extra peace of mind, once a job is accepted, both the buyer and the pro can confirm each other's identity before anyone arrives.
Real reviews from real customers. Every completed job can be reviewed, so reputations are earned through honest work over time. You can see a provider's track record before you commit.
Compare quotes, side by side. Post a job once and let interested professionals come to you with their prices, or search and browse pros directly. Either way, you are always comparing like for like, so you get a fair deal.
Two ways to pay, both simple. For on-platform payments, our payment provider splits your payment automatically — the pro is paid their agreed price straight to their bank account, and YeboWork keeps a small service fee (6% + R5). No money is held; every payment is on record. For in-person jobs you pay once the work is done. For digital work, you preview the result (watermarked) and pay to unlock the final files. Prefer cash or EFT? Pay your pro directly with no online fee and no platform commission.
Local, across South Africa. YeboWork matches you with professionals near you, in every province, so you are supporting local businesses and getting someone who can actually reach you.
How it works
For buyers: Search for the service you need or post a job describing it. Compare verified professionals by their profiles, ratings, prices and reviews. Choose your pro, agree the details, and hire — paying on the platform (card or instant EFT, with the pro paid directly and every payment on record), or paying your pro directly for in-person work. When the job is done well, leave a review to help the next person.
For service providers: Create a profile that shows off your skills, photos and pricing. Get ID-verified to earn the trust badge buyers look for. Browse open jobs in your area and quote on the ones that suit you, or receive requests directly. Do great work, collect reviews, and grow a business built on a solid reputation.
The categories we cover
YeboWork spans a wide range of physical and digital services — including plumbing, electrical, cleaning, gardening, painting, handyman work, beauty and hair, design and branding, web development and much more. Whether you need urgent repairs or a creative project, there is a verified professional ready to help.
Our commitment to trust and safety
Trust is not a feature we added; it is the foundation we built on. We verify identities, enable honest reviews, process on-platform payments securely (with the pro paid directly — no funds held), and protect personal information in line with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Sensitive details like your home address are only shared with a counterparty once a job is confirmed, never displayed publicly. We are continually improving our safety measures because your confidence is what makes the marketplace work.
