Our vision
Property in South Africa is scattered — across WhatsApp, social media, brokers, and word of mouth. makaug is changing that. Our AI searches TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and X, reads what it finds, and brings every real property into one place you can actually search. Think of it as a search engine for South Africa property.
