btw anticipating being strict and authoritarian to an unborn child is very odd to me because have you even considered that your child might be a chill guy?
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.
A 15 year old is trying to get justice for her 6 year old sister who was graped by their transport driver. They live with their grandma, the perpetrator and his sister are threatening them. Im not popular but please share so this lands on the right people.Shes been trying since June.
40% of teen pregnancies in 15 y/o girls involve a fathering man who is 20-29.
It is never lost on me that the conversations surrounding teen pregnancy are always about the promiscuity of teenage girls and not the violence of older men.
Rape is one of them hardest crimes to prove. If it isn’t reported immediately, there’s usually no way to prove that it happened unless you get a confession from the rapist. Which is why I hardly believe all these “false accusation” talks. She most likely just had no evidence.
You don’t have shit to say to me, I ain’t got shit to say to you. Also you black heffa, you stand your ground. If YOU don’t like me, you don’t have to fool with me. But you don’t have to talk to me or treat me mean. I don’t have to treat you mean.
