Uber expanding to Africa

After launching its service in South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya, Uber announced that it's expanding to more places in Africa to include Tanzania, Uganda and Ghana by the end of June. While the service did get a lot of controversies, Uber has been doubling its passengers in the African regions every 6 months. Previously in May, the company has partnered with Sidian Bank to launch a Vehicle Solutions Programme that provides driver-partners and business investors with the access to quality vehicles required to begin or develop Uber-based businesses. The initiative which is valued at $100 million, includes vehicle finance components and leasing solutions.
