What is SweepSouth?
SweepSouth is South Africa's largest home cleaning gig platform. You sign up as a SweepStar (cleaner), get matched with homeowners, and earn R30-50+ per hour for cleaning jobs. It's physical work but pays significantly more than surveys or micro-tasks.
How It Works
Apply at sweepsouth.com, pass a background check and interview process. Once approved, you're a SweepStar. Jobs appear in the app based on your location and availability. You accept jobs, travel to the client's home, clean, and get paid weekly via EFT. Ratings from clients affect your future job availability.

Bolt Food
R0–0
per month
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.
