Surviving in the e-hailing business
Briefly News enjoyed chatting with Jonathan Masanda, an Uber and Bolt driver who shared the importance of doing what is expected as a driver without involving yourself in your passenger's business.
"As a driver, it is always wise to stay neutral and not involve yourself in people's businesses or situations because that may backfire."
"Whether it is an argument that a couple has in your car, if none of them is being physical, it is best you stay out of it and just take them to where they need to go."
Talking about his recording passengers, he said:
"That is just wrong; not only are customers protected by the POPIA, but it is rude to record a person without their consent. You may, however, do so for protection if a passenger is being violent or threatening you."
