He was a young man looking for an exciting rendezvous on the dating app, Grindr. But within minutes of meeting his love match, he knew something was horribly wrong. What followed was a terrifying ordeal of beatings, torment, and robbery from which he escaped alive but with deep psychological scars. What’s more, he’s not the only victim: In a worrying trend, opportunistic criminals are using online dating apps to “catfish”, blackmail and rob people whose only desire is to find love or a fleeting romance. Many of those who’ve fallen victim to these crimes say they’ve received little support from the police, and the app developers are refusing responsibility. In a special two-part report, Carte Blanche investigates.

I feel so sorry for these guys bravely doing what they need to do to survive.
This entire video comes back to the lawlessness of taxis in this country. There are literally dozens of UA-cam creators with video evidence of taxi crimes. But Clown Minister of Police is as useless as an ice cream toaster. USELESS!!! Well done ANC, Well done!!!!!!
100%
I dont know how many times I've missed these people and almost hit them on the road.
Challenge is they want to be respected but don't fully follow the rules of the road, they choose when to follow them and when too.
Agreed. Some riders are pretty arrogant on their position to road rules and I fear for my life when I ride next to them
They deserve a tip every time
"Delivering to a hungry middle class.." 😂😂
That was really funny 😂
Thanks for this piece. Very enlightening for me. I will be more conscious going forward.
Let's be really honest though, the bike delivery guys also ride quite recklessly. Skipping Traffic lights, not stopping at Stop streets. They are delivering a key service but they aren't exactly safe on the road.
Adding to this, I've seen some guys on bikes that are not safe or even roadworthy and at times a guy on a bike wearing a bicycle helmet, the companies sending their delivery teams out should also be held accountable for making sure the guys operate with safety gear that will actually protect them.
There are no red tapes south Africans don't apply, they call you velaphi when you are a driver, I used to do deliveries(2020-2021) after Covid19 retrenchment also at the time I was finishing off my degree, and its easy to join for everyone they only need a learners/license ,ID copy and criminal check. And you make about R1.5k-R3k a week. Takealot is always looking for drivers.
Besides all the driving complaints, which are valid, it is an eye opener to consider and keep in mind what these drivers have to go thru to get our warm food & goods on time to us. And we should also show gratefullness.
I think loadshedding has affected many people's perception negatively of what others have to go thru to survive.
Let us not misdirect our frustrations and anger.
In Capetown they don’t care about traffic rules and fly between cars , knock off your mirrors
Unfortunately these delivery drivers rarely follow road rules. They jump stop streets and traffic lights ...speed.. and don't seem to care. Have had many near misses recently.
The description of this video is incorrect - it's a copy-and-paste of another insert (which I also watched) about dating apps. The detail, is where they say, it is in.
I wish all of them only the best. I am thankful for guys like them. I was just stranded without a car due to an accident. Order some stuff from Checkers, it was deliver by one of their friendly bike drivers. I would rather order and have it delivered from Checkers than having to deal with the unfriendly cashiers in Checkers.
Not just them, even the drivers using thier cars are not safe
Why are the vast majority of drivers in SA foreigners? Estimates are between 70 and 95% are foreign nationals. Are the local citizens that need jobs (11 million of them) not willing to become drivers?
Honestly speaking our people undermine such jobs and call these guys names,but these guys are making a decent living it requires hard work and dedication coz I see these guys even when it's raining they continue working
@@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694 fully agree brother!
The so called local citizens have pride honestly, imagine ukhuthi they see a biker and call him Velaphi while they are in the street corners meaning to say they do not have jobs.They need to swallow that pride and find a bike to work as well
my south african driver was shot dead by congolese drivers
Ja, but also comment on how they drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i feel very sorry for these guys
@carteblanchetv you have the wrong description with this video. You have the one for the video about dating apps.
Good work thank u
Another one was hit on Sunday. He didn't wait his turn at the robots during loadshedding
If only they respected the rules of the road. The amount of times I have see them driving on the wrong side of the road, jumping red lights, driving on sidewalks and over predestrian bridges or through pedestrian tunnels.
I have sent videos to the companies they work for and no-one responded
And taxis and blue brigades? Ya nothing hey.
@@johanvermeulen3629 I guess that's where people learn they can get away with it.
Not all foreigners are criminals, most are just hardworking honest people. Imagine ordering food and a foreigner honestly bringing it to you, thats love for their jobs.
Oh no, our Condolences to the family
They need to improve on their driving... Last year, one of the guys skipped a red robot and hit me... He had no cash to even fix my car...
These delivery riders are reckless on the road. I question if some are in possession of a driver's/riders license. I understand that this is making a living, but the recklessness is scary and worrying.
True I was once a victim 😢
heartbreaking
Do they have licences to ride those bikes?Who are the so called bosses?
you just saw mos some they are working for Debonairs ,and you only need a learners to drive a bike in south africa by law.
@@tlhalefangchelechele6303 so at least they are not illegal.
How many car drivers got their licinces legaly? How many of the cars on our roads are roadworthy and insured? Take a look at those stats.
@@johanvermeulen3629 Why is that relevant to this conversation? It's the law that we have valid driver's licenses and our vehicles are roadworthy.
"Colliding with a taxi" now the intro made sense.
What's more worrying is the fact that most of them are foreigners. Is there a visa for being a motorbike driver anywhere else in the world, except SA?
They too ride terribly!!!!!!! And the stealing of our bikes is at an old time HIGH!!!!!
R3000 a week is a LOT of money; I don't understand what they are moaning about . because millions of South African are earning R3500 a MONTH
Bro petrol ,service, distance amd amount of hours don't be dumb
@@nathanielsibanda4789 it is as though you didn't read your own statement, you are the imbecile here! petrol for R2000 at most???
number of hours are self-determined, so that is out the window with that reaching you were attempting. Anyway, your surname told me all I needed to know, and thus your emotional response.
Do they have licenses, though? From what I have seen on the road it seems not.
I will get my own food. Wild West on the roads with these guys everywhere! When there are no cops in site these riders do whatever they like!
its really tough being a gig platform participant - there has to be a better way
This is such a deep ending to the segment for me. I stopped doing Uber because of the danger involved. This man has to judge his career on which job is less life threatening. That is so messed up.
Lifes is tough people 💔🥺
Uber needs to start a new business called Uber security
Who is to say that these drivers don't say they are robbed when they are not and then they run off with the money
What money?? Most ppl pay by card in the app!!
Tip your drivers well
With the Fees these apps charge extra over and above , it's their responsibility to pay the drivers . By the time you ordering an item you would've paid double of what it's worth if you gone to the shop yourself.
It's clear South Africa is not safer then other countries.
South Africa can't have nothing nice
Spoke to soon, finances.
What the government should do is make bike licenses free to South African citizens as part of a social development scheme. If the industry plans to grow that much, then our own South African people should be equipped with the resources to work. The foreigners came from so far to make a life, our own people should be ashamed of themselves, it's not difficult to ride a bike. Then our guys can drive instead of robbing innocent people.
These bikers are partners to the delivery companies and are self employed. The riders are flexible to work whenever they feel like working and this business requires a lot self discipline. You can't go and get a fake sick note because no work no pay.
They look down on such jobs and call them velaphi, thats why they are not joining, Cashiers make R3-5k a month when a food delivery guy makes R3k a week.
The government can maybe give them bikes on loan and they repay monthly. The mentality of expecting free stuff should stop, nobody is owed a free bike just because they are South Africans. These refugees came with little to nothing and somehow managed to either rent bikes or get them on loan. Those robbing people on the street, smoking hard stuff and taking drugs are doing it by choice, not because of lack of resources.
I started renting out bikes in 2018 and quickly learned not to trust or rent to SA people. At the time they undermined the pay compared to Uber even friends and family thought I was mental. And worst part of all they had excuses when they have to pay the weekly rent which started at R1200 and has now dropped to R650 a week due to supply of bikes. For foreign guys I would announce at 8am I hv a bike to rent 1pm 10 guys be chasing me for the bike by next week mon/ tues I have my pay. The industry shot off during covid my best driver operating in Bram even bought a car, SA guys hv also started joining. I hv since parked my bike due to theft nd bad drivers.
@@joesamson8666 do you think the gvt will receive any cent from loan repayments?
I wish I could be a journalist 😂😊
I want to be extremely sympathetic, but these people are the worst to encounter on the road. They ride badly and they do not care about road rules, skip traffic lights and mess up consistently. I am sad he passed away but these riders don't consider our lives either.
100% Sithabile Sibanda
Very sad, but dont call them these people. This is SA why complain about them and not blue brigades and taxis? I take my hat of to the these guys. Come rain hail storms they still deliver..
South Africa is a crime syndicates heaven.
Corruption from top level and no justice for the small man.
I used to get mad. But after doing the job myself I know that if you follow road rules you won't make enough to eat. Robbery was my reason for leaving. Some of these guys can't do the same.
Says the car 🚗 to the electrically powered bicycle
these guys are worse than taxi drivers on the road...yeer
Why don't they just use cars instead?
He choose this job , no one forced him to take this job , we all work , we all suffer , stop putting foreigners in the spotlight , do you care about us South Africans ?
Be honest bike driver the put drives's life in danger, I was since a victim of ancient with the bike driver at the robots it was my right of way for me to pass and the bike driver he didn't stop at the robots and he bumped my car at the driver side and mind you I have a child on that time, the driver didn't have proper passport and driver's license he have fraudulent alsym seeker and the company he was going for it take time to pay the damage on my car { 5 months} after I reported onTweeter is were give me attention and pay the damage 😢
Let's be honest have you seen how most of these bike guys drive, their driving is terrible...
hy no Jake is in Carte Blanche you mase be downing strafinrigting to get on this videos
All foreigners
They are there to serve you. Literally.
Exactly, and they work hard.
Yep and they are human beings too not less of human why are our people not taking these opportunities
@@BatsiraiMusuka they must serve in their countries 😮😮
@@hleziphidhlamini1012 Do you see them as human beings or do you mistreat them when they are on your doorstep with your food?
A genuine question.
I guess you could ask them why they don’t serve in their countries.
Personally, here…l just treat everyone with gratitude as half the time I’ll be hungry.
It’s sad that they have to go through all this, but they don’t follow the road rules too🥲🥲🥲😭
