School Management System for African Schools

Student Records - Fees - Attendance - Results

One secure platform for student management, fees, attendance, and more.

School management built for Africa, by people who know it.

Rongeka Africa was built because African schools deserve better than spreadsheets, paper registers, and WhatsApp group chaos. We built a complete school management platform that works with the infrastructure schools in Zimbabwe actually have - affordable, practical, and ready from day one.

From a small primary school in Harare to a secondary with 1 200 students, Rongeka handles attendance, fees, results, and communication in one place. No expensive ERP. No months of training. No app to download - parents and staff connect straight from WhatsApp.

African school accounting and financial management
Accounting

Replace Sage Pastel with one connected system

Most schools run fee collection and accounting in two separate systems and manually re-enter data between them every month. Rongeka's accounting module integrates directly with your fee records - fee income posts automatically when a payment is recorded. No export, no import, no double-entry. Full double-entry bookkeeping, trial balance, income statement, balance sheet, and bank reconciliation, built in.

  • Trial balance, income statement, and balance sheet
  • Bank reconciliation against your payment records
  • Expense tracking by department or cost centre
  • End-of-year reports ready for your auditor or board
School HR management system
Human Resources

Staff records, leave, and payroll - all in one place

Manage staff contracts, track leave balances, and run monthly payroll from within the platform. Staff records link directly to their class and subject assignments. Generate payslips, track NSSA and PAYE deductions, and maintain a complete employment history for every staff member without a separate HR system.

  • Staff contracts and full employment records
  • Leave balances and approval workflow
  • Monthly payroll processing and payslip generation
  • NSSA and PAYE deduction tracking
