The service, called SIMS Deliveries, is operated by nine girls from the Nkangala area who ride their bikes to bring deliveries to their community. Deliveries cost a flat fee of R60. The age of cyclists range from 16 and 19 years old. The youngest team member, 12-year-old Thando, looks after the bicycles to make sure they are working properly and are ready for the road each day. “Our vision for SIMS Deliveries is for it to be a reliable alternative to the way we do shopping or the way the exchange of money and goods takes place between vendors and customers in black communities, while also having an impact on the lives of young girls in our townships,” they explain on their Facebook page. “We would like to invite you to be part of a vision that seeks to move the community forward and a vision that wants to improve young lives by requesting a delivery and making your R60 count.” While R60 might not seem like much, every bit helps. Deliveries can be arranged through several means. Customers can contact the girls on the numbers listed below, place an order at a specific shop and ask the owner to request the delivery or simply stop the girls on the street and ask for a delivery to be made.
