Social media influencer, Tsoanelo Moyo, also known as ‘Ah Mozisi’, has made waves online after documenting his epic 1400km Uber ride from Johannesburg to Cape Town in March 2023. The trip, which Moyo claims has never been done before using the e-hailing platform, is believed to be the longest Uber ride ever taken in Africa.
Moyo, who boasts 3.3 million followers on TikTok, filmed the entire journey with his two friends and shared the video on the social media platform. The video has since received over 27,000 likes and has been shared widely across social media.
In the video, Moyo humorously acknowledges that viewers may be wondering why he decided to take on such an undertaking. He goes on to show footage of the journey, including the notification he received from the Uber app informing him that the “driving limit has been reached” while approaching Cape Town. Despite the alert, the driver continued and delivered Moyo and his friends safely to their final destination.
The cost of the trip was not cheap, with Moyo sharing a screen grab from his Uber app showing a fee of R8365 for the 1400km journey. However, this ride is not the longest Uber trip ever taken. That record is currently held by a YouTuber known as MrBeast, who rode from North Carolina across the United States to Los Angeles, California, in a journey that covered 3630km and took 35 hours.
Moyo has become a well-known social media content creator over the last few years, with his humorous and relatable content gaining him a large following. His latest adventure has only added to his reputation and highlights the lengths that some influencers will go to create engaging content for their followers.
Overall, Moyo’s epic Uber ride has captured the attention of social media users worldwide and serves as a reminder that, in the world of influencers, no adventure is too big or too expensive to undertake in the pursuit of viral content.
