The app functions like a local directory and assists emaSwati instantly.  He stated that Umsiti Wami was not the first app to be developed by their company, as they had seven others, one of which was for a Canadian bank. Nduwa worked with a team of four people to develop the app, one who is an IT student. Nduwa is an IT engineer and started computer programming during his high school days back in 1991. At that time, he stated that there were few PC’s and no MS Windows.
