Errands and deliveries in South Africa

Queues at offices, traffic on the N1 and the M1, and busy weeks make errands hard to fit in. Taskers can do a grocery run, collect a parcel, drop off documents or wait in a queue for you.

Say exactly what is needed, where and by when. If items must be bought, the tasker can request an advance, which you approve.
