Chat with strangers in South Africa
Yes. Waku is an anonymous chat app where you can meet South Africans and people from around the world. There's no email or phone number, cards can show a country flag, and Portals can be set to a country, so you can watch movies or YouTube together with locals.
Chatting in South Africa
People in South Africa usually chat in English, Zulu, Afrikaans and more, and mostly on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, apps that tie every chat to your real number or account. Waku is for meeting someone new without any of that: an anonymous card, a stranger in Random, or a Portal playing something you both like.
Try opening with “Howzit?” (How's it going?)
How it works
- Pick a nickname and a picture. No email or phone.
- Add your country, if you like, so people can see where you’re from.
- Swipe cards, tap Random, or join a Portal for your country.
- Say yes and it lands in their Requests. They accept, you chat.
