Two young South Africans looked at the e-hailing industry and saw the same problem drivers have complained about for a decade.
You work 12 hour days. You cover fuel, maintenance, data, your own safety. Then a platform based on the other side of the world takes 25 to 45 percent of every single trip.
Persy Qamata and Msizi Mtolo built Bro Cabs because they were done watching that math play out on SA roads.
Their model is simple. Zero commission. Drivers pay a R300 once off verification fee, then R600 a month. Every Rand from every trip after that belongs to the driver.
Their words, unsoftened: when a driver hands over 30 to 45 percent of every trip, he isn't building anything. He's just surviving.
It's not only about the money.
Bro built its safety stack around the reality of SA roads. Panic button. Verified drivers. Live trip sharing. A 24 hour line where an actual person answers.
Big platforms treated South Africa like just another market to conquer and move on from.
Two local founders built something rooted here instead.
That's not a small thing. That's a driver keeping what he actually earned.
Built in SA. For SA. By SA.
Paying almost 50% of your salaries to government AND still have to pay for your own medical aid, security and education is a huuuuuuuuuge RED FLAG!! @sarstax
Say No To This Abuse of Power!!

That old Black Motion performance of Fortune Teller 😭😤🔥Nah man these guys were different. We were robbed of one of the greatest duos to ever come out of Sosha. The chemistry, the energy, the live drums… pure magic!!🥹🔥
Why is @GovernmentZA taxing it's own citizens so much WHILE South Africa 🇿🇦 is sooooooooo rich in many minerals?? @sarstax
Who are these minerals benefiting if NOT it's own citizens...

One of the greatest scams ever pulled off was convincing people that being taxed at every stage of life is normal.
A scam so successful that it was legalised.
You pay tax on:
• The money you earn.
• The money you spend.
• The things you own.
• The house you bought with money that was already taxed.
• The car you bought with money that was already taxed.
• The fuel you put into that car.
• The tyres you buy for that car.
• The roads you use with that car.
• The investments you made with money that was already taxed.
• The inheritance you leave behind from money that was already taxed.
All with money you’ve already paid tax on.
At this point, your money gets taxed more often than it gets enjoyed.
TWO Pot System is the BIGGEST scam in recent times.
You claim R30k from your pension, SARS takes R12k from it...
But @sarstax you have already taxed the money, why tax it again??🤔🚮

South Africans 🇿🇦 we need to stand together AND reject the abuse by @sarstax
Nothing justifies almost 50% of our salaries being stolen by these government with very little to show off in our communities!!

Did you know it’s completely ILLEGAL for tuckshops to charge an extra "Speedpoint fee" (R2–R10) to swipe your card, or add extra fees on airtime? 💳
Section 23 of the CPA & banking rules state the shelf price MUST be the price at the till. Surcharging is strictly forbidden.
This widespread trend is a massive regulatory failure—the NCC and banks are asleep at the wheel while consumers get exploited daily by lawless pricing.
Fight back:
1️⃣ Demand the displayed price.
2️⃣ Snap a photo of illegal fee signs.
3️⃣ Report them to the machine provider (Yoco, Flash, or bank) or the Consumer Ombud (CGSO: [email protected]).
Know your rights. Retweet to stop the exploitation! 📢🇿🇦
Littering in South Africa is the expression of wider selfish – and costly – culture
Love your country. Don’t litter.

Roadside Littering: Road users, particularly motorists and passengers, often discard packaging, bottles, and other waste along roadsides.

Please join the “Do Not Litter" movement that has just erupted in South Africa.
May we please be loud with this one as well 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I rather face the wrath of my wife for keeping small papers in my pockets or in the car than throwing it on the ground.
Stop Littering, Stop behaving like animals, Keep our Country Clean. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
