Mr D to probe driver’s indecent action

- Jeff Wicks

Online delivery service Mr D Food (formerly known as Mr Delivery) is investigat­ing an incident in which one of its drivers exposed himself to a female customer.

A video of the incident, which went viral on Wednesday, shows the delivery driver parked at a woman’s front gate.

After handing the food over to her and while she is walking away, the man is seen opening the fly of his trousers and behaving indecently.

It is unclear where the incident took place, although the vehicle has a Pietermari­tzburg registrati­on.

When the video hit Twitter, Mr D tweeted: “We condemn the driver’s behaviour and sincerely apologise to the affected customer.

“The driver has been identified and his contract terminated. We do not tolerate this behaviour and [we] will ensure this incident is not repeated.”

Mr D Food head Devin Sinclair said the company had apologised to the customer.

“We have been in touch with the customer’s family and have apologised for the driver’s unacceptab­le behaviour.

“We deeply regret the incident and will provide them with any informatio­n they require to take the matter against the driver further,” he said.

He said such behaviour was “certainly not the norm”, with thousands of meals delivered to customers every day. –
