Once again, another unroadworthy taxi was captured in a TikTok video on South Africa's roads.

In the clip uploaded by @munashe.pdf, the Johanessburg taxi is driving on a freeway full of passengers but one could tell from a distance that it was not fit to carry passengers or to be even on the road.

The maroon Siyaya taxi was driving skew. One could describe it as a phara. You could never be sure of its direction. The number of unroad-worthy taxis roaming the streets and carrying on with business is alarming.

@ntando2002 who is the wife of a taxi driver was seen behind the steering wheel, looking beautiful in the taxi. She rocked her makoti attire and kept it cool on the road. What is amazing is that women are not usually seen driving taxis and every time one does, especially a makoti, it's a shock in people's system and is an admirable act.
