In this episode of Kazi the Podcast, we explore how digital technologies are reshaping the world of work, with a special focus on the ride-hailing sector in Tanzania. As digital platforms become more integrated into everyday services like transport, the conversation shifts to the workers who keep these systems running. We dive into the experiences of motorcycle taxi drivers, hearing firsthand about the opportunities and challenges they face in this digital landscape. With insights from Baker Khundakji of the International Transport Workers Federation, Kenji from Bolt's operations team, and Nice Amon of the Communications and Transport Workers Union of Tanzania (COTWU-T), we examine the realities, risks, and potential of ride-hailing services, as well as the policies in place to protect the rights of workers.
