In Kenya today, millions of hardworking men and women wake up early, pack their tools, and head out to hustle. From mama fua in Kisumu to DJs in Nairobi, from fundis in Eldoret to drivers in Mombasa—these are people chasing honest work. They’re not looking for drama. They’re not looking for disrespect. They’re looking to feed their families, pay school fees, and build a future.
But let’s talk about something serious. Something that’s been whispered for too long and now needs to be shouted: some people are misbehaving on service platforms like Balozy.
Let’s be clear: Balozy is an app for work. Not for flirting. Not for harassment. Not for treating pros like second-class citizens.
Mama fua is not your entertainment. She’s not your fantasy. She’s a professional. She shows up, does the job, and leaves with dignity. Just because she’s available for booking doesn’t mean she’s available for inappropriate behavior. That thinking is toxic. It’s dangerous. And it stops now.
We’ve heard stories. A mama fua arrives to clean a house, and instead of being welcomed respectfully, she’s met with suggestive comments. A chef is booked to cook for a family, and the client starts texting her late at night with personal questions. A driver is hired, and the passenger starts making advances.
This is not okay. This is not Kenyan. This is not Balozy.
Let’s remind ourselves: every service provider on Balozy is someone’s parent, sibling, or child. They have responsibilities. They have dreams. They are not there to be treated like animals. They are not there to be disrespected. They are there to work.
And work is sacred.
In Kenya, we say “Kazi ni kazi.” Whether you’re a mama fua, a DJ, a plumber, or a makeup artist—your hustle deserves respect. Your time deserves dignity. Your effort deserves appreciation.
So why do some people misbehave?
Some think power comes from money. That because they’re the client, they can say or do anything. Others hide behind screens, thinking no one is watching. Some have twisted ideas about certain jobs—thinking mama fua work is low-class, or that female service providers are “easy.”
Let’s be real: this is ignorance. This is disrespect. And this is criminal.
At Balozy, we are changing the narrative. We are building a platform where every pro is verified, respected, and protected. We monitor all messages between clients and service providers. If our system detects inappropriate behavior, we will take action. That includes removing the offender from the app—and if necessary, pursuing legal steps.
We don’t play with safety. We don’t compromise on dignity.
To every mama fua, every chef, every driver, every DJ—you matter. Your work matters. Your safety matters.
If you ever experience inappropriate behavior, don’t stay silent. Report it immediately. Tap the report button in the app or WhatsApp us directly. We will listen. We will act. We will protect you.
To every client: treat service providers with respect. Speak professionally. Pay fairly. Keep boundaries. If you cross the line, you will be removed. No warnings. No excuses.
This is not just about rules. It’s about culture. It’s about building a Kenya where hustle is honored, where dignity is standard, and where every job is treated with pride.
So let’s change the notion. Let’s rewrite the story. Mama fua work is not second-class—it’s essential. It’s powerful. It’s the backbone of our homes and communities.
Let’s uplift our pros. Let’s protect our sisters. Let’s hustle clean.
BALOZY IS FOR WORK. PERIOD. RESPECT THE HUSTLE. REPORT ABUSE. HUSTLE CLEAN.
