Despite the advent of Google Maps , the problem that dogged his business was bands turning up at the wrong site entrance.

Sheldrick employed a person whose sole duty was to man a phone line trying to get a band to the right field.

Having given up on conventional satnav they tried using GPS co-ordinates, but get one figure wrong, and the party never got started. Sheldrick thought that there had to be a better way. Advances in satellite mapping and navigation meant that if you were a Deliveroo rider or an Amazon courier or a last-minute saxophonist you were never really lost, but also often not exactly in the right place.

Companies like Google and TomTom recognised this problem, but the solution they developed was an alphanumeric code of nine characters. A bit of maths proved it was possible. The algorithm behind what3words took six months to write. Sheldrick worked on it with two friends he had grown up with.

After the initial mapping was complete, they incorporated an error-correction algorithm, which places similar-sounding combinations a very long way apart. And then there was the question of language: using a team of linguists, what3words is now available in a couple of dozen tongues, from Arabic to Zulu. It has also grown from a company of three to now around 70 full-time employees after two multimillion-dollar rounds of venture capital.

The challenge now is educating the world in their system. To that end they have recently signed licensing agreements with companies including Mercedes, which will utilise the system in its A-class cars, including using voice activation, and TomTom, which will incorporate three-word commands in its navigation platforms.

The technology also offers an off-the-shelf solution to the many countries that lack any kind of universal address system. Ten governments and their postal services — including Mongolia, Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tuvalu — have signed up to the idea. And that can include where I live in rural Hertfordshire, to our office in London where the postcode does not point to the right place, to entire countries, like Mongolia or Saudi Arabia, which have just never known anything other than using directions.

Sheldrick is watching the slow advance of his idea in travel guides and email signatures and Airbnb booking forms. The technology has already proved invaluable in disaster zones and refugee camps as well as at rock festivals. It could easily enable drone delivery. Earlier this month the lead GP on the Isle of Mull, Dr Brian Prendergast, sick of being unable to find his patients, requested they all sign up to it. While the whites-only areas of apartheid cities had street names, the black townships and rural villages like Relela were just inked in as grey spaces.

The GPS app that can find anyone anywhere

She points to the fact that iStore — the South African equivalent of Apple Store — is now using what3words for its deliveries, as well as to the potential of projects like Gateway Health which use the service for a nominal fee. On the ground, that last mile can still be quite a hard sell. In Limpopo, as elsewhere, Gateway Health is faced with the question of how to make the technology go viral.

Dr Louw believes it takes a village. His strategy is to use Relela as a pilot scheme for what3words, to show its positive impact on maternal health, and to use that case study to try to persuade regional and national government to adopt the address system as standard. In late afternoon, we are invited to sit in his front yard, where benches have been set up for a council meeting under a large, spreading jacaranda tree.

When Louw makes his pitch for every home in Relela to utilise a what3words address, he is met with silence. This, it is eventually explained, is because the council meeting does not yet have a quorum. We sit on the benches for a long, chill hour while the sun goes down, waiting for the other two councillors to come up the hill. Eventually when it is getting dark and six men are present, Louw repeats his pitch.

Again, silence. I have a go. Or a woman was in distress, in labour? What if the zone leader was out?

The councilmen discuss these questions gravely. Louw shows a video on his phone about how what3words might solve that problem.
