Bolt Acts to Halt Nigeria-South Africa ‘Taxi-War’
By Danai Nesta Kupemba & Claudia Efemini
Online taxi firm Bolt has restricted “inter-country” requests between Nigeria and South Africa after the two countries’ social media rivalry reached an all-time high – or low – with people booking and then cancelling rides in the other nation as a prank.
The drivers were pawns in this malicious game as they were sent on a wild goose chase to find passengers who weren’t even in the same country.
