Social rideshare service Zaparide offering lifts to Oppikoppi

Social ride-sharing service Zaparide has launched a separate section especially for people looking for a lift to Oppikoppi.

The service allows both drivers and passengers to register and, in ordinary circumstances, matches them up according to route as well as their likes and interests. The idea is to allow drivers to make a little extra money on their daily commute and for passengers to cut down on their transport costs.

A social log-in allows allows both drivers and passengers to review who they will be taking a ride with and also provides an extra layer of safety.

The Oppikoppi lift service will work along similar principles.

Now in its 21st year, Oppikoppi is one of South Africa’s biggest music festivals. Every year, the gathering sees thousands of people decamp to a dusty farm outside Northam, Limpopo. T

This year, the festival takes place from 7 to 9 August and includes international act Gogol Bordello playing alongside South African favourites such as Johnny Clegg, Robin Auld, Karen Zoid and Francois van Coke.
