Ridehailing services like Uber have changed how we get around cities, making travel fast and easy. However, safety issues often creep up, as shown by Anele Mdoda’s scary experience with an Uber driver in Cape Town. When she chose a quiet ride, the driver responded aggressively, but she cleverly pretended to be on Instagram Live to protect herself. Afterward, Uber condemned the driver’s actions, promising to improve safety features and support for passengers. Anele’s story reminds us that while technology helps, community support and kindness play a big role in keeping everyone safe.
