tiktok Creator @julian_vanillathunder posted a viral video on June 30 about significant delays in the Checkers Sixty60 delivery app. Grocery store delivery services were disrupted in March and March due to ultimatums that undocumented aliens would leave or face their wrath. The TikToker addressed the darker reality of the impact of violence and hostility toward foreign nationals.
south african gig economy A lot depends on motorcyclists who work under extreme pressure to achieve the one-hour delivery target. The irony is that while locals demand this fast, seamless service, the foreign drivers who provide it are often the targets of xenophobic violence. This tension increased further after the June 30 deadline, a date seen by some citizens as a welcome opportunity to claim delivery jobs for themselves.
content creator Julian's video This completely exposed the contradiction of a society that wants quick delivery but ignores the safety of workers. With South Africa's high unemployment rate, Julian explained that he now knows exactly where citizens should send their CVs to land these delivery roles. He said the June 30 deadline created a prime opportunity for unemployed locals to move into the sector. see video below: :

Gabs said:
“The truth is that it is not that profitable, risky and you have to work day and night including holidays to earn a living, especially with these petrol hikes it is not that lucrative, and as a driver you act not as an employee but as a contractor, which means you earn based on your trips. This means that the cost of fuel and bike hire are part of your costs.”
Morgan O'Fortune was surprised and said:
“So why weren't South Africans sending CVs before and looking at how much South Africans invested in buying motorbikes and bike licenses it doesn't seem like what you're actually proving is that South Africans are lazy and don't want to do delivery boy work because otherwise they would have done so by now, no foreigners were stopping them from sending their CVs to Checkers and that's why I say you don't use critical thinking, You buy into popular ideas.”
