On 24 November, a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by an Uber driver during a ride in Mowbray, Cape Town. According to reports, the driver deviated from her intended destination and instead drove to a secluded area. He then allegedly locked the car doors, preventing the woman from leaving, and took her phone, adding his own number to it.
The driver reportedly proceeded to sexually assault her, touching her thighs and breasts and attempting to rape her. After escaping the situation, the woman reported the incident to Uber and the police, providing video evidence to support her claims. However, she has since expressed frustration with the limited action and support she has received from both Uber and law enforcement authorities.
The alarming number of incidents involving Uber in recent weeks is deeply concerning, and we have had enough. What’s worse is the company’s apparent silence, with no public comment, no proactive outreach, and no visible effort to take accountability for the safety of its riders. As we observe 16 Days of Activism - a critical time to spotlight the fight against gender-based violence - the e-hailing industry demonstrates a glaring lack of urgency in aligning with these efforts or prioritising rider safety.
It is time to ##HoldUberAccountable and other e-hailing services to take definitive steps to ensure the safety and protection of their users. #womenforchange #16DaysOfActivism #16days @Uber_RSA@Uber@Uber_Support

“I am a 16-year-old girl, and a Bolt driver sexually assaulted me while I took a ride home from church. Not long after we began the trip, the driver started making comments that made me uncomfortable. I told him I didn’t want to talk about those things, hoping he would stop, but he didn’t listen. As we approached my house, he started touching my face and inner thighs. I was scared and told him repeatedly to stop touching me, but he did not care. Instead, he offered me ice cream, which I declined. Once I got home, I told my father what had happened, and together, we went to the police station, where I opened a case of sexual assault. Bolt only contacted me once Women For Change helped reach out to them.”
