Zimbabwe will be the third country for Bolt in Southern Africa, following its recent pilot in Zambia and successful operations in South Africa.

Africa Tech reported Laurent Koerge, Head of Expansion at Bolt, as saying the company’s push into Zimbabwe underscores its commitment to advancing mobility in the region, said Koerge. 

“We are excited to be piloting our services in Zimbabwe. Our goal is not only to offer our drivers higher revenues per hire but also to ensure a high demand due to competitive prices.

Accordingly, our commission is significantly lower than that of our competitors. As a result, our drivers earn more and the service fees are attractive”.
