It is worth noting that, many Ugandans die from abroad on a daily, and the causes of their deaths are always different. But for Ugandans working in Talabat and other delivery companies, sources reveal that they die of accidents so much.
With the latest statistics showing that, at least three Ugandans die a month in each delivery company which include Rafiki, Snoon, and many others. This is mostly caused by the reckless driving by all road users, and the nature of roads that allow maximum speeds of more than 200km/hr.
