e-Hailing Hell

e-Hailing hell | Carte Blanche | M-Net

In February this year, an unregistered driver on the e-hailing platform inDrive was arrested after allegedly causing an accident that claimed the lives of three people in the Western Cape. The passenger and two pedestrians were killed when the driver sped through a red light and rolled the car. The company inDrive confirmed the ride was ordered through its platform but said the driver’s details did not match the driver registered on the system. It was a startling revelation that spurred an investigation into the rental and sale of e-hailing accounts. Carte Blanche has uncovered a thriving illicit economy in which people without proper documentation can buy their way onto e-hailing platforms and accounts are openly sold or rented on social media. For ordinary South Africans who rely on e-hailing for transport, it’s a game of Russian roulette: your driver may not be who you think he is – and the consequences are potentially deadly.

  1. Russia: You have two cows. When you get sober you remember that the mafia took them away from you, so you actually have none.

  2. If you believe nobody gives a hoot about you, dare to miss a number of credit card payments and see the love that you will get.
