This week, an exciting new partnership is announced between the JET8 Foundation and SA Taxi in South Africa. The TaxiCAM app is the first of its kind to use JET8’s decentralized engagement network to turn minibus taxi commuters into paid micro-influencers.

Tokenize your daily commute with TaxiCAM

The TaxiCAM app lays the foundation for a revolution in transport for South Africa, and sets a global precedent. Using JET8‘s technology, micro-influencers across South Africa can support their favorite taxi company, and earn in the process.

By sharing branded selfies and videos with their followers, SA Taxi supporters can earn JETS, JET8’s social currency, and redeem products available in the JET8 in-app Shop. Users can easily redeem these products online, or over-the-counter in more than 2,500 retail stores across South Africa, including Shoprite and Checkers.

By rewarding users for successful in-app post engagement, in addition to cross-posting onto external social media networks, the JET8 system encourages a rapid growth in public awareness of any brand.

Working closely with SA Taxi, the JET8 Foundation will assist in launching marketing campaigns that encourage commuters across South Africa to make TaxiCAM their go-to transport app.

“JET8 apps give everyday users the chance to become highly rewarded micro-influencers. With TaxiCAM, anyone in South Africa can now earn from their social influence, and we are thrilled to partner with SA Taxi in our shared mission to empower commuters everywhere.” — JET8 South Africa Director of Growth and Development, Gerjo Hoffman.
