In a country where safe comm uting options for women remain limited, a groundbreaking startup is rewriting the rules of transportation. Kgosigadi Rides, meaning “Queen” in Setswana, proudIy announces the launch of South Africa’s first all-female ride-hailing service an initiative dedicated exclusively to the safety and empowerment of women and children.
Kgosigadi Rides is more than an e-hailing platform; it is a social movement built on the pillars of sisterhood, security, and economic independence. Co-founded by visionary directors Ms. Tilly Legodi and Mr. Norman Mabasa, the service connects verified female drivers with female passengers and their children, ensuring a ride experience grounded in trust and safety
At a time when gender-based violence and comm uter safety dominate public discourse in South Africa, KgosigadiRides steps in as a pioneering, women-led tech innovation offering a tangible solution. This the first time a platform of this scale offers verified, female only ride options paired with extensive d river welfare benefits from free funeral cover and affordable medical insurance to vehicle financing support.
“We’re building a future where women feel safe on the road -whether they’re behind the wheel or in the backseat,” says Co-Founder Tilly Legodi. “This isn’t just an app. It’s a sisterhood.”
