Allan van der Meulen, 24, is the co-founder of the web app Zlto which helps unemployed people find jobs. A Mitchells Plain entrepreneur is over the moon after the app he helped created, to help unemployed youth to find jobs, recorded more than 100 000 users. He and his partner, Senzo Masumpa, launched the app in 2016 to help unemployed people find jobs. Some of the volunteer jobs on offer include spending some time at libraries, assisting a mechanic, helping out at hospitals, cutting people's grass, or going to the shop for someone. "It's been an overwhelming feeling so see how the app has gotten many young people off the streets and earning their Zlto points," he added.
