Despite the risks of using e-hailing services, Salma showed Mzansi how one would find her if anything bad were to happen. She pulled out some of her hair and planted it inside the car, while also spreading her fingerprints all over the car doors.

South Africans were not very impressed by Salma’s work and reminded her that the police wouldn’t check for the evidence she tried to plant. Although her work would go unnoticed, according to Mzansi, over 150K people watched her clip that she captioned:

“POV: You’re a South African girl taking an Uber. Stay safe, girls.”
