There are lot's of people moving these days (students, renters, repo's etc.) and having a bakkie with a driver is a very useful prospect. Advertise your bakkie for transport for a few hundred bucks. Charge extra for a few helping hands (available at trailer hire places etc.) I paid R200 to hire a trailer and R400 for 2 helpers for 4 hours. I don't have a tow hitch on my new car, so a trailer is out of the question. You could even attach a trailer to your bakkie and halve the number of trips.

grab some of those guys sitting at the corner... arm them all with AK-47s and go into the Cash In Transit heist business... or if you can get explosives, ATM bombing is always a good fall-back. Lots of people still go for the plain old daylight robbery approach too... and the bonus is... when your workers get shot to pieces you don't have to pay them... and you can just grab some more at the next corner.

come on guys, anyone????

OK, seriously... if you have the time... take a slow cruise down the road and look for small piles of rubble, garbage bags, etc in people's yards... charge them R60 a pop to take it away to the dump for them.

the moving of stuff is a good idea - depending on where you stay though. The area I stay, everyone is moving in/out, so you can actually make R1k on a good day.

Rent-a-Bakkie?

I heard that you can rent out your bakkie/truk for a guaranteed monthly income. Apparently they take of your bakkie/truck for you (service, petrol, etc) and you'll get your monthly income just like that. I needed more info on this, but couldn't find any!

People need lifts from A - B with stuff like bicycles (cyclists etc)

Try that...

Moving peoples 'shyte' is also a good idea.

Taking people (kids - large group) from A - B is also a good idea.

transporting people is not a good idea when u get into an accident etc i think u need a license for it besides having the taxi's declare war on you.
