In a bold move set to redefine e-hailing in South Africa, Bolt has rolled out a new fleet of branded Citroëns in Cape Town—marking a powerful step forward in mobility, accessibility, and African innovation. With 21 vehicles already in rotation and the full fleet set to reach 64 by month-end, this isn’t just a business expansion—it’s a celebration of African women in leadership, strategy, and impact.
At the heart of this initiative is a dynamic, women-led partnership between Daisy Kisten, Country Manager at Auto24, and Elize Faivelowitz, Director and fleet owner at Pro Driver Placements. Together, they’re not only reshaping the transport landscape—they’re proving that when women lead, the road ahead is inclusive, intentional, and built to last.
“This launch represents a pivotal moment for Bolt in Cape Town,” said Lerato Motsoeneng, Bolt’s Senior General Manager for South Africa. “Working with leaders like Daisy and Elize allows us to grow responsibly while empowering local businesses and drivers. This is what inclusive, scalable innovation looks like.”
Across Africa, the transport and mobility sector has historically been dominated by men. Yet Kisten and Faivelowitz are writing a new narrative—one where professionalism, accountability, and upliftment form the backbone of progress.
“This isn’t just about adding cars to the road,” said Daisy Kisten. “Every Bolt-branded Citroën you see has been sourced, reconditioned, and serviced through Auto24. We’re ensuring safety, consistency, and quality—because that’s what our people deserve. It’s mobility, done right, for our communities.”
Elize Faivelowitz, whose team is deploying and managing the fleet, adds a deeply human perspective:
“For too long, drivers have been overlooked. Our partnership with Bolt ensures they have access to reliable vehicles, but also the support they need to work with dignity and pride. We’re changing lives, one car at a time.”
This initiative responds to growing demand in the Cape Town region—offering not just transportation, but transformation. The Citroën fleet provides a consistently premium rider experience, while opening doors for new drivers, especially those seeking financial stability through trusted platforms.
More than just a launch, this is a landmark moment in African e-hailing: women aren’t just contributing—they’re leading from the front seat.
Available through Bolt Business, this new fleet also brings meaning to corporate mobility—offering companies a chance to align their travel policies with socially impactful choices. Supporting women-led businesses, investing in safety, and building community are no longer side benefits—they’re at the center of the journey.
