You do the running around that busy people and small businesses don't have time for, and charge per errand, per stop or per hour.
Common jobs
- Standing in queues at Home Affairs, licensing centres and banks.
- Collecting medicine, groceries, dry cleaning or documents.
- Delivering for spaza shops, takeaways and online sellers.
- Dropping off parcels at PAXI or Pudo points.
The steps to a first paid errand
- Decide your area, transport and services.
- Set simple prices by errand, stop or hour.
- Tell neighbours, older people and local shops.
- Do the job, send proof, and ask for the next one.
A good sign: a shop or family that uses you every week.
