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.”

Bolt gets involved in ongoing fight for justice

The famous e-hailing service, Bolt, has shared their contribution to the ongoing fight for justice as South Africans organised mass protests:

“Bolt South Africa is standing in solidarity with citizens taking a stand against gender-based violence and femicide. To help make participation more accessible, Bolt is offering discounted rides to and from the protest, with a strong push for group travel through its Bolt XL category—supporting affordability, safety, and environmental responsibility. The initiative underscores Bolt’s broader commitment to community safety, civic engagement, and gender justice—issues that remain deeply urgent in South Africa.”

“But the police don’t even know how to check for evidence.”
