Maxim, the e-hailing service connecting passengers with drivers through a simple mobile app, has officially launched in Klerksdorp. The arrival of Maxim gives residents and visitors another convenient way to travel at affordable rates for daily commuting, errands, work travels and getting home safely. The launch also introduces a convenient delivery option, allowing residents and local businesses to send parcels and other items across Klerksdorp through the Maxim app.
Maxim is an international brand that has been operating in South Africa since 2023 and was one of the first to receive an e-hailing license. Having launched in Cape Town, the company is actively expanding into provincial cities. Klerksdorp is the 16th city in the region. 2 new cities will be added making it 17 and 18.
Through the Maxim app, passengers can request a ride, view trip details and connect with nearby Maxim drivers. This service is designed to make local transportation easily accessible, with fare options tailored for different travel needs. The company operates in the mass market and offers rides and other services at 10% below market prices.
In Klerksdorp, passengers can choose the Standard category, which accommodates up to four passengers, as well as delivery for sending parcels and other items. City rides start from as little as R20, offering residents an affordable way to travel around the city. The app provides your fare information before the ride is confirmed, helping passengers make informed choices before traveling.
Beyond everyday travels, Maxim gives Klerksdorp residents more freedom to move on their own schedule. Whether it is a late dinner, a night out in the town with friends, an event across the city or simply getting home safely after traditional transport options have stopped operating, passengers can request a ride through the app. With convenient access to transport beyond standard operating hours, Maxim helps make Klerksdorp’s nightlife and social scene more accessible, while offering a reliable way to get home.
Safety remains central to Maxim’s service. To protect passengers and drivers, the app includes real-time ride tracking, allowing clients to share their live location with friends and family during a trip. Ride information is also securely saved in the service’s storage system.
The launch also introduces Maxim’s Delivery service, making it easy for residents and local businesses to send parcels, collect documents, or have everyday essentials delivered. Whether it’s forgotten house keys, groceries, takeaway from a favourite local restaurant, or a small package for a friend or family member, the service offers a convenient way to move items across Klerksdorp without leaving home or the office.
At a time when South Africa continues to fight high unemployment, Maxim’s launch in Klerksdorp creates flexible earning opportunities through the platform. Individuals can register as drivers or couriers and choose the hours that best suit their schedules, whether they are seeking full-time work, a side income or additional flexibility around other commitments. Earnings are directly linked to the number of trips or deliveries completed, giving partners greater control over how much they work. With commission starting from 0%, Maxim enables drivers and couriers to retain a larger share of what they earn while helping meet the city’s growing transport and delivery needs.
“South Africa’s mobility landscape is evolving and technology is making it possible to connect people, services and opportunities in more practical ways. We are proud to bring this progress to Klerksdorp, where residents can now access a more flexible way to travel, send items and earn through the platform. Maxim is not only about getting from one place to another; it is about making everyday movement more convenient and creating opportunities for people to participate in the digital economy,” said Lesoli Lemphane, Head of Subdivision at Maxim South Africa.
The Maxim app is available to download on Apple App Store, Google Play, AppGallery & GalaxyStore. Residents of Klerskdorp can now use the app to request rides in a matter of seconds and experience a convenient, technology-enabled transport option in their city.
