This time last year, the world was full of uncertainty. Much has changed since then and, despite the pandemic’s tragic toll, businesses and communities continue to band together to show support. But there is still work to be done to make sure all South African’s can share equally in the rec.

With South Africa moving into Phase 2 of its vaccine rollout programme, Uber has offered 10 million free or discounted trips to and from vaccination sites so that nobody misses their opportunity to get the vaccine.
In partnership with UNESCO, the ride-hailing company says that despite the pandemic’s tragic toll, businesses and communities should continue to band together to show support to make sure all South African’s can share equally in the recovery.
“There’s a lot of effort behind every vaccination. We’re grateful to essential workers and NGOs who are working tirelessly to ensure South Africa moves closer to overall recovery by getting vaccinated. We look forward to harnessing the power of the Uber platform to help connect South Africa with vaccines and are working closely with the government and other stakeholders to ensure we follow their vaccination roll-out plan and assist where possible.”
