This documentary brought me to tears. I was a Bolt driver for 4 years in Durban and it was tough. I now live in America and this documentary just reminded me of where I come from and I have God to thank that I’m still alive to tell the tale. Hope my brothers and sisters I worked with stay safe
Strong my brother
how u earning a living that side ?
Nothing more proud of seeing our South African brothers creating good productions!
Bro that is what im looking at, ayyy kuhle kakhulu 😀😀i so wish ukuthi bazibize ama Cinematographer hayi cameraman.
Thank you thank you very much Sir 🤝🏽🤝🏽 I will definitely share this positive feedback with my team✊️
@siphelelesicwe1206 😂😂 From now on we will call ourselves Cinematographers🤔 I like the sound of that🤝🏽
Can say that again ❤
True, good production, pictures, and sound.
The production is of Netflix standard.. To more opportunities to young South Africans🙌
Thank you thank you very much Ziqelekazi🤝🏽 God knows we tried to get it on Netflix and other platforms but no luck, so we couldn't keep you guys waiting any longer
I couldn't agree more. It is sooo cinematic and relays the story so smoothly and effectively. Big ups to the production team!
And to South African content
He articulated the plight of E-hailing drivers so well. A lot of issues and scenarios I'd never considered before. Well done.
Proudly South African 🇿🇦 , guy’s let fight crime by helping our justice department and so forth… let take back our South Africa 🇿🇦 back from crime lord’s
Bro❤
System is rigged, 😢. Enemy is still pressing hard. South Africa 🇿🇦 is not free .
Nicely shot guys wonderful this is Netflix standard
underhanded compliment sdu
We will take it !!!!!😂
These guys should request payments upfront if it is cash. If they have problems, cancel the ride and let them find another way home. Stay safe guys. You are doing a great service
A lot of clients will start rating you bad for that.
And right there lies the cruz of the con: ratings.
It should be made an industry norm to insist on an upfront cash payment. Lento yoku blackmailer abantu ngama ratings besebenza kanzima kumele ithenwe amandla.
Production is clean 🔥🧼🫧
Dankie siyabonga Phumelele🤝🏽🤝🏽
Thanks bro we try
I get bored easily by many videos here, but this one I'm glad that I watched to the end. May God protect honest labourers like this gentleman 🙏
Thank you my brother.. 🙏🙏
Sinzama ispani sethu, sivika izinto eziningi njalo. This guy said it perfectly but the crazy part about this is that nobody is on our side 😢
This is great, we need to appreciate the sacrifices these guys take to meet our needs and also support their families. We Respect your hustle guys❤
You can say that again Bhungane

This is just proper, the background sound is on point, and the video quality is on point.
Dankie siyabonga Sandile for that spot on analysis🙏 took a lot of work to find the right sound.
This is 10000% amazing production. Prayers and gratitude to the Uber drives in SA. I have never been mistreated as a foreigner, it's always been good conversations.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you thank you very much my brother, we will definitely keep it up🤝🏽🤝🏽

Production out of this world too clean damn , cinematography absolutely stunning. Cant wait for episode of what happens in Sandton and Fourways transporting Slay Queens to hotels and apartments.
Thank you very much Sash for the positive feedback, I wonder what's happening there, we will definitely come there to document the madness very soon.
Powerful documentary. God bless him, and protect all e-hailing drivers.
🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽
Great subtitles thank for this beautiful production
Thank you very much for the positive feedback 🤝🏽
Quickly put ads here guys, this series is going to be a hit, at least raise money for your future doccies. The talent is there. The production quality can only go up from now on.

@@reallifersa ua-cam.com/video/Y-qNtbvaRZ0/v-deo.html
This production!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dankie dankie siyabonga🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽
This is what we call a documentary
I don't thing I've ever subscribed to a channel quicker than I did here. Wow, the production and attention to detail is amazing💯🔥🙏🏾. And the dude narrated the plight of uber drivers so clearly, I almost felt like one, the struggle is real outchea. As victim of hijacking, I know exactly the anxiety of being in a boot for 3 hours. Crazy stuff, we glad to be alive to tell the tales.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is the best documentary I've seen this year from South African perspective and everything is 🔥💯
Thank you thank you very much Mr Masemola🤝 now that's what I call "Motivation" to keep going✊
Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. I had no idea such incidents happened in the e-hailing industry. Keep spreading the awareness. Great story telling. 👏
My fellow brothers go through a lot in this e-Hailing business, it's heartbreaking real. We will be dropping more episodes soon just for the sake of spreading awareness. it's up to us honestly.
Nah this is a beautiful production. And my heart goes out to the brother being interviewed through this one ❤if you reading this my G, please stay strong Mata!
I take bolt all the time and it's just important to be kind to these drivers cause they put their own lives at risk too. Kindness is free man... I don't know why this world is side ways like this
I agree with you my brother, I always use Uber or Bolt to move around and my fellow brothers go through a lot and people are not aware of their challenges. but we are here to educate the masses.
Very sad indeed! Your story hits home. Very good production! You have definitely gained one more subscriber. Looking forward to more content👊✊👏👏
Thank you than you very much Thandi, we will definitely upload more content for you guys🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's my first time here but the intro itself made me not to hesitate to press subscribe button

Production is on another level and shout out to the brother for sharing his story , Very appreciated 🔥
🙌🙌 keep the good work coming, I am so proud of you Vuyani and Zamo.
Wow. The production and storytelling is really great. Did not hesitate to subscribe and looking forward to many more. Just some feedback from me, i feel the story ended abruptly at about 21:27 eith regards to what happened with his phone after they used it to accept requests. Would have been great to hear how he had to overcome that seeing that he initially didnt even report the case. Nonetheless, this keot me engaged from beginning to end. Well done Artmos Films
Thank you thank you very much for the positive feedback Mongezi🤝🏽 I appreciate your honest observation and I do agree with you on that note now that you have pointed it out. We will definitely sort out those loose ends on the next one🫡
Lovely work man v and Zamo all the way from matatiele ❤❤❤

Top production bafofethu!!
Visuals💯,Story telling💯
Big up to the production team . The shots ❤
Thank you very much Nthabiseng🙏 I will definitely share your message with my team.
this is true, my dad and brother has been robbed on multiple occasions and they only operate in the burbs the kasi is a no go. one drivers car got taken by taxis and he had to pay to get it back.
"This business needs to be monitored"👌😭
I’ve experienced this mad behaviour from Taxi marshals, I e-hailed an uber from Vosloorus to OR Tambo the Taxi Marshal stopped the Uber demanded I used a Taxi
I think it’s outrageous because as a commuter shouldn’t I decide which mode of transportation I want ?
This is just a way Marshals are making money and being selfish- shame on them
Went on for about 10-15 minutes them refusing me to commute with an Uber. Pretty frightening in broad daylight
Damn the production 💯!!! Nothing you see on TV
😂😂😂 Dankie dankie siyabonga🙏🏽
Looking forward to episode 2.
We will be uploading very soon.
Wow very Dope Documentary 👌

Thank you thank you very much Bhungane🙏 Episode 02 is still being polished, it has to be better than Episode 01, but it's coming.
a lot of work has been put into this,, goodlawd !!!!
A lot a lot my brother as you can see the results, too many sleepless nights in post production, months and months of trying to get this product to look like this. Zero budget No funding, everything coming from our little pockets, it's been hectic, but from the positive feedback I'm getting from you guys it was worth it and we will keep delivering quality going forward 🤝🏽
@@artmosfilms2000 im a fan, youll guys will be getting huge offers soon at this pace brow,, this is a TV killer. I dig the colours especailly that of the rich beautiful skin tone. what youll use on post production, davinci? and the interview itself just made me wanna be a better person
Production out of this world

Ey mft usizi lokuba udriver kaBolt/uber...
It us against low prices while uPetrol unyuka njalo, against taxi drivers, against hijacking, against car service, against amaPromo. I have to update my PDP as we speak that also needs money... We have families we need to support, we need to pay rent
Eish Mpilo my brother kunzima ngempela la ngaphandle. As much as this e-hailing business has created a lot of job opportunities but still kunzima

We would love to work with you one day, Hopefully we get to meet soon.
Yes you will. I am praying for you too.
We need English speakers though also gotta have a mix you know how it is in sa
I thought this is based on reality and the reality is, majority of us(South Africans)are a product of Bantu education.
Brilliant documentary.Hopefully government will start support this sector of public transport.I really loved the way he explained the different scenarios.Well done🎉
Thank you thank you very much my brother🤝🏽🤝🏽 that's what we are also trying to achieve, but we will get there, for now we just want to highlight and spread awareness
