New! Being & Becoming African as a Permanent Work in Progress (eds Nyamnjoh/Nwosu/Yosimbom) is inspired by Achebe’s Igbo proverbs archive: 'a tapestry of insights into the centrality of proverbs as a multifaceted archive of African thought' Grace Musila 👉🏾bit.ly/3hlIWnk

“I’m not that much younger than you. In three years we are going to be the exact same age” #TimeTravels

A woman was raped by a @Boltapp_za driver who stopped the trip and commanded her out of the car and raped her at gunpoint. Bolt must immediately de-platform and ban this driver, they must also assist SA Police Service 🇿🇦 to arrest him! #believeHer WISE4Afrika #FeministsAtWork #FixingTheCountry

I'm going to be retweeting all our Kenyan conversations from 2018 and 2019 on here about Taxify, who then rebranded as Bolt, perhaps partly to try and escape the fact that stories of their drivers came up A LOT in sexual harassment and physical abuse of women riders #BoltMustFall

Taxify was literally Bolt 1.0. They just changed their name. But these things kept happening, somehow. #BoltMustFall

Women and many other folk have been asking Taxify, now Bolt, about this for years. These are just my tweets from that time. There are many, many, many MANY others. From all over the Continent. 🌍 #BoltMustFall

How many more horrors like these, before African govts demand tighter security for riders, from #BoltMustFall ? This is a continent-wide pattern of sexual predation by #BoltMustFall drivers.
