Every so often, we see something on the Mzansi trends list that shocks us beyond all senses: an over the top reaction to a situation or a fast one pulled on someone by someone else.

Mzansi amazed by cop on a picnic date, spotted using police van: 'Only in Satafrika'

Well, one Mzansi taxi driver took this notion a little too far when he decided to board a lit paraffin stove in the front seat of the taxi above the engine compartment.

On the first impression, it looks like the chilled driver was simply using the apparatus to keep the vehicle warm as he conducts his early morning rounds amid the cold winter weather.

In the short video of the hilarious act on social media, a passenger in the front seat next to the stove sits silently as the taxi cruises along.

The windscreen shows a Delft sticker, which gives the other impression that the taxi in question belongs to the Delft Belhar Parow Taxi Association in Cape Town.

Saffas on Twitter had as much to say about the origin of the video, which was shared by @_Ailer__.
