@Boltapp_za responded:
"Thanks for having such an important discussion on your show. The driver who called in is misleading. All drivers have to go through training and must meet specific criteria to operate on our platform. Any driver found to be renting out a profile is immediately blocked and not allowed back on our platform."
@AngelaKefilwe said:
"It's true just yesterday the driver that drove me to town was nothing like the profile, he was a foreign national using someone's profile. I was scared and shared my ride with people close to me."

"Mo, South Africans are to blame for such because they’re the ones selling profiles hence it is very difficult to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions. I say women should stop using bolt until the matter is sorted."
@MafTee101 tweeted:
"1. Mo... That can't be accurate. From my personal experience of why guys are renting or buying these profiles is @Boltapp_za constant blocking and micro management of their drivers. They block you for no apparent reason and on top of that they don't give you remedial pointers."
The Citizen reported that many more women have been coming forward with sexual abuse claims from Bolt drivers. The South African Bolt saga is only getting started.
