On Thursday, a video was posted on social media which showed a taxi owner's wife losing her cool. It is not known when the incident took place, but, it was clear the woman was upset.

In the video the woman is heard telling the passengers she is Gcaba’s wife. Briefly.co.za gathered the Gcaba brothers are notorious taxi owners in Durban and it is alleged they are quite feared.

Someone in the taxi obviously angered Mrs Gcaba and she completely lost it - directing harsh slurs at one person before threatening all the passengers.

Translated into English, the woman said: “what will you do if I take out a gun and blow your head off? Do you know who I am? I own these taxis. I can tell the driver to turn this thing around and I can shoot all of you.”
