Uber under siege in South Africa

• Uber remains unregistered with the National Public Transport Regulator, nearly 7 months after the deadline.
• Locally built ride-hailing apps, such as OMN1 and Bro Cabs, offer features aimed at addressing Uber's biggest pain points, including poor customer support and low driver earnings.
• OMN1 plans to launch nationally on 5 November 2026, aiming to reach at least 1,000 South African creators and pay them at least R20,000 a month through the platform.
