How It All Started
DJOL’s journey began in a Stellenbosch University dorm room in 2022. Co-founders Jené Venter and Arnold Hattingh, fueled by a shared vision, worked tirelessly to bring their innovative idea to life.
What started as a spark of inspiration quickly grew into a mission to revolutionize how people connect with local promotions and experiences.
Through countless late nights and unwavering determination, DJOL evolved into a platform that has now expanded to six locations across South Africa.
