If you can’t afford the tyres, you can’t afford the car 🙄

@JosiahThobejane You can also show random comments on home - the user can then interact with those, which takes them to the original post where the comment was made, it builds engagement. Currently the app is a lil boring in a sense that, I don’t immediately see the comments it’s promised to shw

Jealousy boys are up with this one.

@JayFromVenda This is spicy, I'm now convinced that these guys cannot drive.

Also makes sense why they're not recognized internationally 😢😢

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.

The bmw interior will age better with time. Those huge bezels on Merc and the Audi will not stand the test of time.

[Jm.autos🚗 @WilJay_1]

You can only drive one for the next 5 years, the other two disappear forever. What's your pick?

How much you need to earn to afford the cheapest Merc in South Africa.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class
Starting price: R795 559
Monthly instalment: R17 714
Estimated monthly salary required: R71 000😮‍💨

The cost of the cheapest Audi, BMW& Mercedes-Benz vehicles has more than doubled in the past decade & today, people need to earn up to R37 000 more per month to afford the same car as in 2015.

In 2025, more than 70% of all the cars in South Africa now cost more than R500 000

In 2015, an A1 1-Series, and a A-Class cost R265 000,
R342 000, and R389 200, respectively.

Fast-forward ⏩ to 2025/26, and the vehicles now cost
R530 900,
R713 395, and
R813 124, respectively.🫠

This story made me shed a tear 😭 😔😔💔

This is Wellie Mbolekwa, he is a self employed single father and has been taking care of his kids so well until he got diagnosed with colon cancer in Jan 2025. 💔💔😔. It’s so sad how one’s life can can change in an instant.

[Taurus Zuckerberg 💎 @Real_Precious_M]

He was at Charlotte Maxeke hospital but the service was bad so they transferred him to a private hospital and below is the bill and the daughters’ bank card for anyone interested in donating… I will share the backabuddy link 🔗 below
