Cape Town Bolt driver facing two counts of attempted murder


The case against a 39-year-old Cape Town Bolt driver accused of stabbing two of his passengers has been postponed to the 17th of May for a bail application. Benedict Chitungu appeared before the Cape Town Magistrates Court and now faces two charges of attempted murder instead of the previous charge of assault GBH. He intends pleading not guilty…

  1. Women 😂😂😂 Dj Tira is facing a fazzy rape charge that happened in 2014 the lady wants to open a case cause he still haven't paid her he owes him 😂😂😂😂😂 I'll never take women serious 🤞

  2. Why would people not want to pay and have to be taken to an atm to withdraw money they should’ve had in the first place, why would he drop them at a place of safety if he wanted to harm them? Why go all the way to a police station?

  3. The girls say he stabbed them. The driver says they removed the rubber by the door which exposed a sharp piece of metal in the car and as they were fighting him and trying to get out the car they got cut. I am glad he went to the police stations cos it will show on his trip data(if he is telling the truth). If these girls are telling lies then he should sue them for loss of income and make them pay the legal fees. If he indeed did stab them then he should be punished appropriately.

  4. My mom and I use Bolt when necessary. We never encountered any problems with any of the drivers. Some drivers are quiet, and others will chat. We pay and give extra because we understand their situation. I think these girls were troublesome. Bolt drivers' lives are constantly in danger. Some had to defend themselves against drunk client's and hijackers. Praying for him.

  5. My niece who is a student at UCT also has a similar experience with a Bolt driver. She noticed that he was taking her on a route directly opposite to where she had requested. Even after calling him out on this he continued on the route until she became hysterical and contacted her father. She has since stopped usuing Bolt.

  6. I wonder what really happened, if he stabbed them then he deserves jail time, however as an ehailing driver, my experience is that women will give you a hard time.

  7. Tbh never request when you don’t have the funds to pay yourself.😢 it looks like they tried to play this guy and forgot that he’s making a living himself.
    Bolt needs to have a dash cam for all drivers periodt

  8. These girls are passengers from hell, the driver went to the police station for help as they didn't want to jump out and take another vehicle. Both parties were set up by the police to fail and ended up badly for both parties.

  9. Effect his future job prospects ? The piece of rubbish should be in jail waiting trial. No wonder South Africa has a massive problem with crime. What a joke.

  10. He is a foreigner that shouldn't even be in SA at first place. The shouldn't be foreigners doing jobs like bold or Uber in SA, that's not a scarce skill. Also in Zimbabwe where he comes from he wouldn't do crime like this coz criminals are being purnished there unlike here in SA.

  11. A few months back I had an incident with a bolt driver but I never reported it. My request was to be collected at the Gautrain station, apparently the GPS took the driver to the other side of the station, he called me and asked where I was and he sounded very upset. Eventually he can to the correct pick up stop, first thing I did was to look at the number plate and it matched. When I got in, the music was playing too loud, I asked the driver to please switch off the music, at this point I had a really bad headache. The driver started shouting at me, he was swearing, he was so rude and I became really scared and felt unsafe. At this point we had already left the collect point, we are on the way. He went on and on and I decided to just keep quiet, all of a sudden he stopped the car and told me to get out of his car. I just went out, feeling so confused as to what just happened.

  12. Chitungu? I know I don't know all South African surnames, but that surname isn't a South African surname and the man should be deported to wherever he came from ASAP.

  13. I honestly stopped using Bolt because they employ anyone, especially extremely rude foreigners. How did the stabbing occur? No one us talking about that…

  14. Almost every Bolt driver I have spoken to, say that lady passengers are the most troublesome! No judgement on this case. Or any other, as only there individuals tgat were there know!
