In certain rural areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, motorcycle taxi riders, commonly known as “Boda Boda” in East Africa, have found a lucrative business opportunity in transporting corpses to and from mortuaries.
This unique service has proven to be a profitable venture for these riders, with a single transport, depending on the distance, earning them a minimum of $47 (equivalent to 643 Ghanaian Cedis).
For those struggling to make ends meet in Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country in Central Africa, transporting dead bodies on commercial motorcycles offers a potential business opportunity with no visa requirements.
However, it is crucial to consider the cultural, legal, and ethical implications of engaging in such a sensitive line of work.
It is important to note that while this article highlights the financial aspect of this business, it is essential to approach the transportation of human remains with the utmost respect, dignity, and adherence to local laws and regulations.
