TSHWANE, GAUTENG — Bolt revealed that the family of Isaac Satlat will not be receiving any compensation after Satlat was killed while operating a Bolt-registered vehicle in Tshwane West on 11 February 2026.

According to TimesLIVE, the company said that Satlat violated the company’s policy when he used another driver’s profile. The platform added that its benefits and protections only apply to drivers operating under their own verified accounts. Bolt pointed out that where profile sharing occurs, the individual operating the vehicle is doing so unlawfully and is not eligible for compensation.

Profile sharing undermines trust: Bolt

Bolt slammed the practice of profile-sharing and said that it undermines passenger trust, violates agreements with drivers, and compromises safety. Bolt revealed that the profile was registered to Wiseman Makobe. Investigations showed that Makobe completed the registration and verification process, and Satlat started using the platform. Makobe’s profile has been permanently banned from the platform. Bolt also said that it was cooperating with the South African Police Service (SAPS) during the investigation.

What happened to Satlat?

Satlat was operating an e-hailing vehicle when more than two suspects requested the services. A video of Satlat’s last moments went viral. The video showed that there was a struggle between Satlat and the suspects. One of the suspects, who was seated in the back seat, strangled him. After a short struggle, Satlat died.

One suspect was arrested three days after the incident. The vehicle and Satlat’s body were later found abandoned in Tshwane West. Two more suspects were arrested days later and appeared before the Tshwane Magistrates Court on 16 February. They abandoned their bail application and remain behind bars until their next appearance in March.
