Cape Town: Keep 90% of What You Earn—Your Skills Are Worth More

Cape Town

You're Worth More Than You're Being Paid

Finding decent work in Cape Town right now shouldn't be this hard. Whether you're navigating traffic from the Southern Suburbs into the City Bowl, juggling shifts in Sea Point, or trying to make ends meet in Mitchells Plain, the truth is simple: too many of us are being underpaid for what we can do.

You already have valuable skills—driving, running errands, helping people with tech problems. On Lumo, you keep 90% of what the customer pays. Not half. Not 60%. Ninety percent. You get paid the same day, you set your own hours, and you finally earn what your labor is actually worth.

Lumo is recruiting 300 contractors in Cape Town right now. Jobs open as local customers post them, and you'll be ready when they do.

Three Ways to Earn on Your Terms

You choose which jobs to accept. Here's the kind of work available:

  • Delivery: Move food, groceries, and packages across town by car, bike, or scooter. Perfect if you know the roads and want flexibility.
  • Errands: Pharmacy runs, returns, waiting in line, shopping trips—the tasks that save people hours. Great for anyone organized and reliable.
  • Tech help: Set up Wi-Fi, TVs, printers, and phones for people who need a hand. If you're comfortable with gadgets, this is steady work.

Earn a Loyalty Bonus

Complete your first 100 jobs and you'll earn a 1,637 ZAR loyalty bonus (about $100 USD). It's our way of rewarding contractors who show up and do good work.

No boss. No fixed schedule. Just you, your skills, and customers who need help.
