Since its launch in May 2024, Potch My Gou has become a well-known and trusted name in local transport. Built around the needs of students, residents, and visitors, the service has made safe, affordable, and convenient travel part of everyday life in Potchefstroom and beyond.
With a strong community base and a reputation for reliability, Potch My Gou now stands at an exciting crossroads, ready to pass the wheel to a new owner who shares its vision and passion for local service.
A Homegrown Transport Solution
Potch My Gou was created to fill a gap in local commuting, offering professional, comfortable rides at fair rates. From quick trips around town to longer-distance transfers, the company developed a model that combines structure, safety, and accessibility.
Its mission has always been simple: Whether transporting students from campus to home, friends heading out for a night, or travelers connecting to major hubs, Potch My Gou has been the go-to choice for reliable service with a local touch.
Services That Move the Community
1. Local and Safe Transport
Potch My Gou’s local rides provide easy access between key locations in Potchefstroom, connecting neighborhoods, shopping areas, and student zones. Its “Vat My Huistoe” service became especially popular for late-night or after-event travel, offering safety and peace of mind at an affordable rate.
2. Airport Transfers
For those traveling longer distances, the company offers scheduled transfers to OR Tambo International Airport on Fridays and Sundays. This option provides stress-free travel, punctuality, and affordability, ideal for students and professionals alike.
3. Customised Travel Options
Flexibility has been one of Potch My Gou’s strengths. The company provides custom routes on request, including trips to Johannesburg, the Free State, Pretoria and any desired locations. These tailored services have made it a preferred choice for small groups, families, and business travel.
4. Weekend Shuttles
Potch My Gou’s Pretoria weekend trips have become a staple for many commuters, making weekend travel seamless. With defined pickup and drop-off points, such as Total Energies Kampus in Potchefstroom and BP Castle Gate Shopping Centre in Pretoria, the service is dependable and easy to plan around.
A Solid Brand with Community Roots
Potch My Gou’s identity is deeply tied to Potchefstroom. Its name and slogan, “Vir Wanneer Brandewyn Nie Brieke Het Nie,” reflect a company built by locals for locals. Over time, it has built a loyal client base through professionalism, clear communication, and a strong emphasis on passenger safety.
Beyond just transport, the brand represents a reliable community service that contributes to safer roads, more efficient commuting, and local employment.
Ready for the Next Journey
As the business continues to grow, the current owners are looking for a new steward to carry forward the Potch My Gou vision. With established clients, a proven operational structure, and recognizable branding, the company is well-positioned for continued success.
For an investor, entrepreneur, or existing transport operator, this represents a unique opportunity to take over a thriving local brand with strong community credibility and future potential.
