The Gcaba brothers are members of the prominent Gcaba family from Umlazi, eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal province. Members of the family who are known to the public are Sthembiso Gcaba, Mfundo Gcaba, Mandlakapheli Eric Gcaba, and Thembinkosi Gcaba.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The controversial family owns multiple successful businesses in South Africa, with the taxi business being their major business venture. The Gcaba brothers are collectively worth billions, however, their exact net worth is not public knowledge.<\/p>\n

The Gcaba Brother\u2019s Business Empire was Established in the 1970s<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Gcaba brothers were literally raised with wealth and privileges. The family’s journey to greatness began in the 1970s when South African businessman Simon Gcaba established businesses such as Mama’s Bakery in Umlazi township and Sonke Long Distance Taxi Association.<\/p>\n

The businesses rose to an enviable height at some point, making him one of the wealthiest and most prominent men in the taxi business in his region. Simon is considered one of those who changed the face of the taxi industry in the country.<\/p>\n

Tragedy struck in February 1996 when Simon was assassinated in a brazen hit that left his four wives and children devastated. The life of one of his sons, Moses, was later cut short as a result of bloody taxi wars as well.<\/p>\n

Although his death dealt a blow to his family, it, however, motivated them to work harder and continue his legacy. Not long after, precisely in 1999, Mandlakapheli Eric Gcaba took the reins of the family’s businesses.<\/p>\n

The Gcaba family is chiefly known for being taxi royalty. However, they also have other businesses that contribute to their wealth. Unfortunately, they haven’t publicized their joint businesses yet.<\/p>\n

How Many Taxis Do Gcaba Brothers Have?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Gcaba brothers have over 100 taxis, including a fleet of vehicles, buses, and other commercial and logistical vehicles. Their minibus taxis have an imprint of \u201cGcaba Brothers,\u201d and they own the lion’s share of the taxi business in KwaZulu-Natal. Their company has an annual budget of about R220 million.<\/p>\n

It was alleged that the Gcaba family provided transport for the former president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma<\/a>, for campaigns. In 2021, they also debunked rumors that they donated their cars to people to head to the Estcourt Correctional Centre to protest for the freedom of the former president from his 15-month imprisonment at the Correctional facility.<\/p>\n

The Gcaba brothers are related to Jacob Zuma by blood. They are Zuma’s nephews, as their mother is the former president’s sister.<\/p>\n
