About Us

Built to solve problems
that matter in Africa.

ChacksTech Creative was founded in 2018 with a clear mandate: build technology that addresses structural gaps in South African education and workforce development — without cutting corners on quality or compliance.

We are a B-BBEE accredited software company registered and operating in Centurion, Gauteng, with teams active across Pretoria and Cape Town. Our work is used by Universities and TVET colleges, training providers, workplace supervisors, and students navigating the South African WIL system.

We move in two tracks. ESpaneng Praxis is our flagship SaaS product — a Work-Integrated Learning operating system purpose-built for South African compliance. Alongside that, we take on custom software builds for organisations that need technology shaped to their specific context, not adapted from a generic template.

Our Mission
Deliver enterprise-grade, purpose-built digital infrastructure that empowers South African institutions to work more effectively, comply confidently, and serve more people — without tools built for someone else's context.
Our Vision
To be the foundational technology partner for Africa's education and workforce ecosystem — systems that are honest, resilient, and designed for people doing real work in complex environments.
How We Work
Stability over novelty. Compliance by design. Every product we ship must earn trust from institutions that cannot afford failure and from students whose futures depend on what we build.
Flagship Product

The WIL Operating System
South Africa has been missing.

Built for POPIA compliance, SETA alignment, and institutional audit-readiness — ESpaneng Praxis removes the friction so Work-Integrated Learning can actually happen at scale.

ESpaneng Praxis

ESpaneng Praxis is our flagship platform for work-integrated learning operations. It helps institutions, supervisors, students, and placement partners stay aligned in one secure environment without forcing them into more admin than they already carry.

  • End-to-end placement visibility — from onboarding through review and sign-off, with each role seeing only the work and context they need.
  • Structured evidence trail — placements, records, and supporting proof stay connected so institutions are not chasing scattered files during review.
  • Guided workspaces — students can work from clear task flows, linked resources, and supervisor-set guidance without losing flexibility.
  • Audit-ready outputs — clear records and exports for programme oversight, internal governance, and external compliance review.
  • Built for real adoption — designed to fit into existing institutional delivery models instead of demanding a disruptive rip-and-replace.

For Investors & Partners

The infrastructure bet
on African education.

South Africa's WIL system touches over 700,000 students annually across TVET, university, and private training institutions. The compliance and workflow infrastructure for this is still largely paper-based — and ESpaneng Praxis is purpose-built to be the digital layer that changes that.

Large, Underserved Market
South African institutions carry major placement, supervision, and compliance workloads with limited purpose-built software supporting them.
High Retention Potential
When operational records, role assignments, and programme workflows live in one platform, institutions gain a clear reason to stay.
Built for Regulated Environments
Our products are shaped around governance, data protection, and operational accountability from the start, not added later as a patch.
Product and Delivery Capability
We are not only building one product. We are building a repeatable capability to deliver software for demanding institutions and partner ecosystems.
Target Market
700K+
WIL students annually across South African Institutions, HEI, and private training institutions — all requiring compliant placement management.
Revenue Model
B2B SaaS
Institutional subscription + per-student cohort tiers. Custom software engagements as a complementary revenue stream.
