What is Bolt Food?
Bolt Food shut down its South African operations on 8 December 2023 and no longer operates anywhere in SA. It closed both its South African and Nigerian food-delivery businesses that month, with reporting citing an uncompetitive local market. This page is kept for reference only — there is no active Bolt Food courier programme in South Africa. If you want food-delivery courier work in SA, Mr D and Uber Eats are the realistic options.
How It Works
Bolt Food closed in South Africa (and Nigeria) in December 2023. There is no longer a Bolt Food courier programme or customer app operating in SA, so there is no sign-up process and no earnings to report. For delivery work in South Africa, see Mr D Food or Uber Eats instead.
