WC E-hailing Association calls on drivers to be extra cautious when accepting rides

CAPE TOWN - The Western Cape E-hailing Association is calling on drivers to be extra cautious when accepting rides.

The statement came after the recent attack on two e-hailing drivers in Cape Town.

On Wednesday, a driver was attacked by a client in Strandfontein and another was robbed also by clients on Christmas Eve in Rylands.

Spokesperson for the association Keith Francis is urging e-hailing drivers to be extra vigilant.

“We really condemn these attacks on e-hailing drivers, especially the ones that happened in Bishop lavis, Stranfontien, and in Rylands.”  

He added that the attacks on e-hailing drivers seem to have increased in the last two months.
