SA techie builds app that blocks spam callers for good.
A SA techie who was woken by a spam call at 6am has built an app that lets users report and block spammers, and he named it exactly what everyone is thinking.
FokOffMense, built by 30-year-old IT specialist Mathew Riddle, launched at the beginning of July.
"We as South Africans are all frustrated with spam callers," he said. "Every time they call, one just wants to say fokof."
Fokof is a vulgar Afrikaans expression meaning "f--- off", a blunt way of telling someone to go away.
