I'm from Machadodorp i built a ride-hailing app for towns where Uber doesn't exist. Launching 11 sep

Hey hunters! 👋

I'm Thabiso from Machadodorp (eNtokozweni), Mpumalanga - a small town on the N4 where the only transport is local taxis.

Uber, Bolt, inDrive don't work here. So I built LocalRide.

What it does:

🚖 Book a taxi in 10 seconds via WhatsApp - no app download needed

📱 Works on low data & low storage phones

💬 Driver + rider chat in WhatsApp, live tracking link

🇿🇦 Built for small towns across SA

I'm launching on Product Hunt Sept 11 at 9:01 AM SAST.

If you want to support a founder from a small town in SA going global, please follow my launch here:

Would love feedback - what features would YOU want for rural transport?

Thanks! 🙏
