On the Move and Making It: How Our Drivers Are Building Brighter Futures

At MotionAds, our delivery drivers are more than just messengers on wheels. They’re parents, breadwinners, side-hustlers, and community-builders - navigating not only the roads of our cities but the responsibilities of everyday life.

Each month, we work with hundreds of drivers across South Africa who carry our branded campaigns around the streets and neighbourhoods of South Africa. And behind every delivery is a real story of upliftment, stories like these:

Primrose Hadebe, a mother of three, shares:

“When I started with Uber Eats, I was struggling a lot because sometimes I didn’t have money for petrol and data... but now [with MotionAds] I no longer struggle… with food for my kids’ school, I no longer struggle.”

Clinton Gomba speaks to the value of independence:

“MotionAds is helping young, independent drivers… It is really helping us in terms of financial issues. We really appreciate the team.”

Abel Vundu, one of our long-time MotionAds drivers, says:

“I’ve been working with MotionAds for 4+ years now. I’m happily married, I’ve got two kids, and it helps with school fees and transport money… so it helps a lot.”

And some of the stories go even deeper.

‍‍Stanley Bwambale, one of our Johannesburg inspectors who’s been with us since 2019, shared something that left our team speechless:

“I’ve got a one-year-old - We decided to name him after one of the MotionAds CEOs, ‘Elan Band.’”

‍

These aren’t just heartwarming stories, they’re proof of the real, measurable impact that brand partnerships through MotionAds can have on people’s lives. For many of our drivers, a campaign isn’t just about extra income. It’s a school uniform paid on time. It’s groceries for the week. It’s dignity and a sense of belonging.

When you work with MotionAds, you’re doing more than activating your brand at street level - you’re part of an ecosystem that uplifts hardworking South Africans every day.

To our MotionMavericks on the road: we see you, we salute you, and we thank you.
