The drivers usually do not take any nonsense from commuters and prefer a quiet trip to the destination.

The man ordered the rest of his commuters to search for the animal in a field while he parked his taxi on the side of the road. One Mzansi man, Beekay Buckinoh, filmed the hilarious scene and shared it on TikTok with the caption:

“Taxi driver der sed to pray with a passenger’s (sangoma) chicken, now the chicken ran away and the sangoma wants his chicken.”

Beekay explained that they did not find the chicken but the driver had other plans:

“They went to go buy another one which also made the driver’s life more difficult because the sangoma was not happy about its age, body and less possibility that it has ever laid eggs.”
