Young Self-Taught South African Programmer Launches Groundbreaking Car-Finding App
Young Self-Taught South African Programmer Launches Groundbreaking Car-Finding App

Meet Xolile Xaba, a young man from Newcastle who has made a significant impact on the technology world. Xolile is a self-taught computer programmer who found his passion for coding while he was still in high school. Despite not having access to a computer at home, he was determined to learn and used the school’s computers to teach himself how to code

His passion and hard work paid off when he launched his own app, a car-finding tool that helps drivers locate their vehicles in large parking lots. The idea for the app came after Xolile visited his gogo in Johannesburg and had difficulty finding their car in a crowded shopping center parking lot. This experience sparked an innovative solution that has since helped countless drivers avoid the frustration of wandering aimlessly in search of their vehicles

Since launching his app, Xolile has held various technology-related positions in local and international companies, showcasing his expertise in the field. He is a true testament to the power of hard work and determination, having taught himself a valuable skill and using it to create a solution that has helped many people

Xolile’s story is an inspiration to anyone who wants to pursue a career in technology. Despite facing challenges, he never let his lack of resources or opportunities hold him back. Instead, he found creative ways to pursue his passion and has since made a name for himself in the tech industry
