We have big news to share. With the support of the team at TomeTech, who are currently upgrading our backend systems, and with Mysatech assisting in aligning all Verified Entities to be formally listed, something truly meaningful is taking shape. There are major updates underway, all focused on one clear goal — making it simple and reliable for anyone to check and verify a business’s official online presence. At the same time, we are creating an easy and secure way for businesses to get themselves verified, helping prevent scammers from creating fake accounts and impersonating trusted brands. This is about restoring trust online. It is about giving control back to businesses that have worked hard to build their reputation, and giving customers confidence in who they are engaging with. We are excited about what is coming and look forward to sharing more soon. #VerifiedDirectory #TomeTech #Mysatech #DigitalTrust #BusinessVerification #OnlineSecurity #BrandProtection #TrustOnline #VerifiedBusinesses #Innovation

Good morning, Today marks an exciting milestone for Verified Directory. After weeks of behind-the-scenes work, our team has officially begun processing the very first listings, which will be published throughout today and tomorrow as we open to the public. What makes Verified Directory truly unique is that we hold ourselves to the same standards we require of others—our own entity is being listed within the TownMapper system, an independent platform that regulates online listings and assigns trust-factor ratings. This means that beyond our internal vetting and regulatory processes, our platform is also independently assessed and ranked for performance, transparency, and reliability—giving you added peace of mind that Verified Directory is built to be one of the most trusted online sources of information available. #VerifiedDirectory #Verified #Trust

Everyone talks about getting “verified” online. Very few talk about what it actually costs — and who gets left out. On platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X, verification is no longer about trust. It’s about monthly payments, strict platform rules, and fragmented visibility. You pay every month just to try and qualify, and even then, your verification only exists inside that one platform. For sole traders, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and informal businesses, the problem is even worse. You may be real. You may be active. You may be providing services every day. But without formal registrations, press coverage, or platform-defined “notability,” you remain invisible. A blue tick does not mean a business is active. It does not guarantee real contact details. And it does not give customers a clear, trusted way to reach you across the internet. This is exactly why the Verified Directory exists. It is not another standard directory platform. It is a central, managed, audited and regulated verification system built with one core purpose: to connect real people directly to real, active businesses and service providers. - No guessing. - No fake profiles. - No broken links. - No uncertainty. If a business is not officially verified, it won’t be visible to users searching for trusted providers. And without visibility, there is no real connection between businesses and potential customers. The difference? Everything about your business lives in one verified place. Your services. Your contact details. Your legitimacy. One clear source of truth that online users can trust. And the cost? R300 per year. That’s R25 per month. Less than what most platforms charge monthly just to attempt verification — with no guarantees and no central overview. This isn’t about a badge. It’s about being found, being trusted, and being connected. Come explore on Monday, 12 January. See what’s being brought to the table. And see how this platform is becoming the most trusted source for verified information on active entities online. Verification is no longer optional. It’s the gateway to visibility and trust. #VerifiedDirectory #Verified #Marketing #Advertising

South Africa’s digital economy is entering a new era of clarity, trust, and accountability. Launching soon, the Verified Directory by Mysatech becomes South Africa’s first managed and audited trust-based business directory, designed to verify legitimate, actively trading entities, the real people behind them, and the way they interact with their customers. The Verified Directory goes far beyond registration records or static listings. Its core purpose is to answer the questions that truly matter before engagement: • Is this business genuinely trading above board? • Are the people representing the entity real and accountable? • How does the business treat its customers in real interactions? • Can this entity be trusted to deliver fairly and professionally? Every Verified listing reflects real-world behaviour, not just formal paperwork. Each entity is assessed through a structured verification framework that includes: • Legal and operational legitimacy • Active trading confirmation • Identity verification of business owners or representatives • Trust ratings based on real customer experiences • Feedback from verified clients and customers • Ongoing monitoring to ensure continued ethical conduct In addition, the Verified Directory serves as the central hub for accurate, real-world business connections. For the first time, the public can rely on a single trusted source to find: • Confirmed and active online presence links • The business’s official MySA Business Page • Correct and currently active Facebook or other social media profiles • Verified contact details where provided • Up-to-date general business information No more guessing which page is authentic. No more outdated links or impersonated profiles. Verified is South Africa’s premier “Verify My Business” directory — built to connect the public with legitimate businesses, real people, authentic customer feedback, and accurate online presence. For businesses, Verified offers visibility rooted in credibility. For customers, it delivers confidence before contact or commitment. For the economy, it establishes a higher standard of ethical trade. Be Seen. Be Trusted. Be Verified. #Verified #VerifiedDirectory
