These provide transportation for many people in South Africa who lack cars of their own. They function as a symbol of poverty whenever the author or Patricia Nombuyiselo are forced to use them due to unreliable cars. They also function as a symbol of Patricia Nombuyiselo's skill for navigating systems to get what she wants, using them to circumvent Abel's attempts to control her.
