AdrianBryan New regulations mandate branding for Uber and Bolt vehicles in South Africa The Department of Transport has introduced new regulations requiring all e-hailing vehicles, including those operated by Uber and Bolt, to display clear branding. Effective from 12 September 2025, these regulations aim to enhance safety, improve service quality, and reduce conflicts with traditional taxi services. Under the new rules, e-hailing drivers must obtain official operating licenses from provincial regulators, replacing previous charter permits or metered taxi licenses.
