Episode Details

Fuel prices are crushing e-hailing drivers in South Africa, with some spending half their daily earnings just to fill up—leaving little for themselves or their families after platforms take their cut. Forced to work 14-16 hour days, exhausted and stressed, many feel they’re just moving money from passengers straight into petrol tanks. Stuck between losing their vehicles if they quit and grinding themselves to the bone if they stay, drivers are bearing the full cost of the gig economy’s shaky foundation. But there’s a glimmer of hope: fuel prices may drop next month, thanks to a new U.S.-Iran deal expected to ease Middle East tensions and stabilize oil markets.
