About Real Hey I
Preventing motor failures for South African farmers since 2021
Our Mission
Real Hey I exists to prevent R30,000 pump disasters BEFORE they happen. South African farmers work on tight margins - a single motor failure can mean the difference between profit and loss, between keeping livestock alive and facing devastation.
That's why we've spent three years perfecting technology that warns you 2-3 weeks before pump failures happen. Time to order parts. Schedule service. Plan instead of panic. This isn't generic "IoT monitoring" - it's motor failure prevention designed specifically for South African farms.
Our Story: Born from Real Farm Failures
Real Hey I was founded by Malinda du Preez after experiencing the exact disasters we now prevent. While transitioning from corporate work to permaculture farming, she faced costly water supply failures and equipment breakdowns that nearly destroyed her operation.
Running out of water unexpectedly. Discovering pump failures at 2 AM. Scrambling for R35,000 emergency repairs with no warning. These weren't theoretical problems - they were her reality.
While working at Relax Solar, she watched the same preventable crises drain farmers' time and money across South Africa. The pattern was clear: farmers needed early warning, not emergency response.
That's why we spent three years developing technology that actually works for South African conditions. Wireless monitoring that reaches 3km without WiFi. 2-3 weeks early warning before motor failures. Systems built to survive harsh farm environments. Equipment that prevents the exact disasters we experienced firsthand.
We've tested these systems in the toughest conditions. Proven the technology works. Refined the installation process. Built support systems farmers can rely on. Now we're ready to protect farms across all 9 provinces.
