They are set for a protest on March 22, 23 and 24 to call on the government to assist them curb the exploitation by their app partners. They say they are  tired of the government not intervening to regulate their "so called app partners" who subject them to cheap trips that leave them disadvantaged because of the little money they make.   The drivers were also going to ask for the government to put measures in place to root out industry tensions because as long as it does not intervene, e-hailing kills the traditional minibus taxi industry.   They also want the government to deal with this issue of safety decisively because these apps can be created in a way that they ensure the safety of the passengers and the drivers.     Guest: Vhatuka Mbelengwa, National Spokesperson for the e-hailing industry
