Teksi Ride is proud to be at the forefront of South Africa’s e-hailing revolution – boldly local, fiercely reliable and committed to real change on the ground. Born from South African innovation and shaped by the needs of South African commuters and drivers, Teksi Ride is not just another app – it's a movement.
With a powerful slogan that says it all – "Tsamaya le rona, hamba nathi" – Teksi Ride invites South Africans to ride with a platform that speaks their language, understands their daily hustle and puts people before profits.
"Teksi Ride didn’t just build another ride-hailing app – it built a platform that reflects the values and realities of South Africans. From language and pricing to safety and sustainability, every feature was designed with local needs in mind,” says MD, Funeka Nyaqela of Teksi Ride. Its mission is simple: empower drivers, serve riders and lead with heart in everything it does.
Why Teksi Ride is changing the game:
- Safety is non-negotiable
Every ride with Teksi Ride is backed by industry-leading safety protocols, including call centre support in every province, real-time tracking, SOS panic buttons and strict vetting of drivers.
- Zero-data access – rides at your fingertips
No airtime? No problem. The Teksi Ride app is zero-rated for data, ensuring uninterrupted access for users across South Africa, especially in underserved communities.
- Driver empowerment through a local lens
Teksi Ride is built with driver dignity at its core. With a fair 20% commission model, drivers keep more of what they earn while still accessing top-tier digital tools and support.
- In-app multi-language support
Teksi Ride speaks South Africa’s languages – literally. Riders and drivers can access the app and support in multiple local languages, including isiZulu, Sesotho, Tshivenda and Xitsonga – making Teksi Ride the most culturally rooted app in the country.
- Call centres in every province
A dedicated team of 50 call centre agents per province ensures fast human support, helping customers and drivers resolve issues instantly – no bots, just real people who care.
