South Africa's most prestigious app developers have been recognised at the MTN Business App of the Year Awards held in Johannesburg last week. The Best Women in STEM Solution Award for the best app developed by women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics went to LocTransi. The app allows parents and caregivers to monitor and keep track of their children's school transportation in real-time. The free app keeps parents informed via a messaging system of delays or problems along the route, and the driver can alert parents about emergencies immediately. Schools can track when learners enter or leave the premises. More on the app from Tshidi Morabi
