TIPS on keeping safe when you are out and about (Click to read)
Call/SMS a taxi using My Teksi (you can download the app) or call a regular (Public/Sunshine etc) cab or a Blue Cab so even if you have to wait an extra 10 minutes they come to get you rather that just taking one off the street - that way the company knows who is picking you up and there is traceability.

Get a pepper spray and keep it in your bag. Perhaps if you have no choice but to get in random cab have it in your hand before you get into the vehicle.

If you are grabbed - immediately start fighting, scream, kick, hit, bite, scratch, try to keep the door open and try to get away as fast as you can - they won't want a trouble maker...
