An e-hailing driver who was assaulted and had his vehicle shot at is considering to drop the charges against the three men who harrassed him and his passengers in KwaNdengezi, west of Durban midweek.
The e-hailing driver who was allegedly assaulted and threatened at gunpoint by security guards in KwaNdengezi, west of Durban, is reportedly considering withdrawing his criminal case after receiving death threats.
The development has alarmed the KwaZulu-Natal E-Hailing Council, which says the incident highlights the growing dangers faced by e-hailing operators in parts of the province.
The driver was allegedly attacked on Wednesday while transporting passengers in the Mariannhill township. According to the council, he has since been threatened and warned to drop the case or risk being killed.
KwaZulu-Natal E-Hailing Council chairperson Mzo Ngcobo said the threats emerged shortly after the driver opened a case at the KwaNdengezi police station.
