"Employed youth, invest in this business, buy motorbikes and help unemployed siblings, cousins and friends. Don't be greedy, just sit down and have a fair agreement. When the friend is sorted in life, he/she can also help the next person. That's another nation-building effort .Let us stop idolising our f*olishness like praising a high spender on alcohol and stuff."

Delivery driver shared her earnings
Briefly News previously reported that South African delivery driver Nokhuthula pulled back the curtain on the realities of working in the country’s fast-growing gig economy, offering a detailed breakdown of how much drivers can realistically earn, and what it actually takes to get there.
In a video posted on 3 May 2026, Nokuthula, who works through platforms like Takealot and Mr D, responded to a flood of questions from curious viewers asking about her income. Rather than giving a vague answer, she explained the structure of her earnings, highlighting both the opportunities and the pressures that come with the job.
One of her strongest points was the role of customer tips. She noted that tips can significantly boost earnings, sometimes making the difference between a slow day and a profitable one. Her message to viewers was simple but direct, tipping drivers matters more than many people realise.
