A hun paid an e-hailing driver R1 following a passenger promo that led to a significant fare discount.
The driver was seemingly disappointed with the fare price and even asked @sethumgoqii to add R4 more and pay R5 at least.
Driver asks for more money
The driver can be heard asking @sethumgoqii for more money in the video despite the promotional fare.
The video quickly gained attention on social media, stirring conversations about fare promotions and driver compensation:
Speaking to Briefly News, e-hailing driver Mpho Senoko said all drivers were compensated for these promo rides; however, not everyone received the total amount.
"Some drivers have expressed frustration about the promotional pricing, which they feel needs to adequately cover the costs of operating their vehicles, including fuel and maintenance."

“Mina ngivele ngasaba, you request this R1.” [I was hesitant to request R1.]
@Samu noted:
“But these companies pay yonke leyomali mina I don’t know ukuthi why besilwa.” [But these companies pay all that money, I don’t know why we are fighting.]
