Host: Lesego M.
When Cassper Nyovest's expensive gift vanished via Uber Courier, it wasn't just a celebrity complaint—it was a flare gun signaling a breakdown in trust that thousands of South Africans feel. Who is really responsible when a gig economy platform fails? The individual driver, or the multi-billion dollar system that employs them?
In this episode, we dive deep into the viral incident that ruined a gesture and exposed the fragile seams of on-demand services. We're moving beyond the frustration to ask the big questions you’ve been debating in the group chats. Is this the final straw for app-based deliveries? What punishment fits the crime? And does a famous voice get justice faster than yours?
We're opening the backroom conversation to you. Share your own delivery horror stories and your verdict on who's to blame. This is more than a stolen package; it's a trial of the entire gig economy model.
