WATCH: Yet another attack on an e-hailing driver in South Africa

The X post by anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee shares interior vehicle camera footage from April 25, 2026, capturing an e-hailing driver in Cape Town being robbed at gunpoint by two male passengers during a nighttime ride.

The video shows the driver and passengers interacting tensely inside the car before the robbery escalates, illustrating common risks faced by gig economy drivers who often work late hours in high-crime areas.

Replies reflect widespread frustration with South Africa’s crime levels, with users calling for stronger policing, criticizing ride acceptance practices at night, and expressing sympathy for drivers trying to earn a living.
