🚗 UNITED WE STAND AGAINST E-HAILING EXPLOITATION & SLAVERY! ✊
To every brave South African E-hailing driver who turned off their app yesterday on October 7th and continues to stand ground today—WE SALUTE YOU! ✊🇿🇦
Your courage and unity are sending shockwaves across the entire country. Look at the proof: in areas where drivers have completely shut down, surge rates have soared past R10 per kilometer! That alone proves the power we hold when we stand united.
🛑 TO THE DRIVERS STILL ONLINE: WAKE UP!
To those drivers who are refusing to participate and keeping their apps active—why choose to remain a slave? Why betray the very brothers and sisters fighting to put food on your table? By staying online during this National Shutdown, you are sabotaging our collective future. You are helping big tech corporations keep us trapped in poverty.
This strike isn’t for an individual—this strike is for EVERY E-hailing driver in South Africa.
⛽ THE REALITY WE FACE DAILY
How long can we survive like this?
* Fuel is expensive.
* Vehicles and monthly installments are expensive
* Vehicle maintenance, repairs, and insurance are expensive
* Feeding and providing for our families is expensive
Yet, multinational app companies like Uber, Bolt, and InDrive continue to exploit us with slave rates while taking huge commissions. We want to work, earn a dignified living, care for our families, and save for retirement. We are not asking for handouts—we are demanding fair pay for our labor!
🏛️ WE ARE ON OUR OWN—POLITICIANS DON'T CARE
Let’s be honest: the government does not care about E-hailing drivers. The ANC government continues to oppress us with unfair policies and demarcations that threaten our livelihoods, force drivers to return home empty on expensive fuel, and create unnecessary conflict. Opposition parties like the DA, EFF, and MK are equally silent—none of them are fighting for us. Politicians collect huge salaries paid by our taxes while we, the taxpayers, suffer on the roads. We must fight for ourselves!
🔥 OUR ACTION PLAN & NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMANDS
1️⃣ OFFLINE UNTIL MIDNIGHT, OCTOBER 10TH: Keep your apps turned OFF 24/7 across all platforms (Uber, Bolt, InDrive) until midnight on October 10th. Do NOT allow any active E-hailing vehicles to operate in your territories while we are on strike.
2️⃣ MARCH ON OCTOBER 12TH, 2026: On Monday, October 12th, we will gather in numbers and march directly to the offices of Uber, Bolt, and InDrive!
OUR UNIFIED DEMANDS FOR ALL PLATFORMS:
* 🎯 R10 per kilometer minimum rate across all categories.
* 🎯 R50 minimum fare for every trip, regardless of distance.
AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL!
Turn off those apps, park your vehicles, and let the algorithms go dark. Together, we will win!
