Africa's number one female DJ, DJ Zinhle, caused quiet the stir when she decided to take a taxi to Fourways Mall.

In a TikTok video posted on Friday, 12 June 2026, DJ Zinhle shared that she and two other females had been walking but decided to take a taxi to the mall. Inside, she took out a R20 note and paid for three people. This was seen as the third red flag for many people, who questioned why pay such a low amount for three people.

Zinhle seemed to have enjoyed her ride, and the overall experience felt by millions of South Africans every day.

"I could take a taxi every day, this is fun," she smiled.

On arrival, Zinhle shared that the taxi dropped them off at a stop far from the shops that they were going to. In closing, Zinhle said the process of commuting via taxi was fun and easy, adding that she does not get what the fuss is all about.

There are a couple of red flags for many people. Firstly, some pointed out how the lady knew that a quantum would arrive. Secondly, people said the R20 bill for three people did not add up; others asked why pay in an empty taxi, seeing how most only accept payments once the taxi is full.

The biggest giveaway for some was that the taxi looked too clean and proper to be a normal Jozi taxi.
