With the aim of creating a platform that meets tasks to people in your neighbourhood who are willing to do them, Task Monkey aims to have 300 registered ‘task monkeys’ nationally and 20 new tasks posted daily by the end of the year.

Built on a similar model to that of popular cousin applications like Uber and Fiverr, Task Monkey offers an on demand service that takes care of the chores you may not have time for by matching your need with a capable human keen and willing to earn extra bucks.

Task Monkey founder, Johan Cilliers, says security is a big focus for the company and all prospective Task Monkeys go through a rigorous background check before registering.

“Task Monkey prides itself on efficiently catering to your every need start by running background checks on all task monkeys and in doing so we have created a safe and very user-friendly website that both alleviates the stress of the mundane everyday tasks and provides a perfect opportunity for those looking to make some money," says Cilliers.

From technical tasks like installing computer software and the more general tasks like washing your dog to deliveries and transporting of your furniture as you move homes. No matter the task, post it and our Task Monkey’s will do their best to assist. So, all that’s left for you to do visit the website and get tasking.
