"Our taxis are falling apart! Doors are falling, people are falling with the doors, the windows can't close. The driver is literally sitting on a piece of leather, the rest of the seat is just steel. You can see the engine there..."

She also managed to squeeze in unrelated issues like the state of roads in some of SA's streets and the government's failed plan to build a R22 million flagpole in Pretoria.
