YANGO Namibia says it has submitted about 1,500 permit applications and spent N$1.3 million on fees while navigating administrative delays and strict government ultimatums.
Country general manager Alex Mungai says out of 1,480 applications for permits, the company has faced challenges with the regulatory process. The permits are required for the ride-hailing service to operate legally in Namibia.
Mungai stated that the company remains committed to compliance but highlighted the financial burden and delays. The Namibian government has set deadlines for ride-hailing companies to obtain proper permits or face penalties.
