One young man showed viewers his morning, which turned into a heated exchange with a taxi driver in a local township.

Man angers taxi driver by paying with R200 note

The guy, who goes by the Facebook handle Keith Dodgen, was dared by one of his followers to pay with a R200 note early in the morning while taking a taxi, but it took a shocking turn for the worse.

The incident occurred during the early morning rush hour, a peak period for taxi drivers, who often struggle to provide change due to a high volume of small transactions, but the man proceeded with his mission nevertheless. Keith went on to hand over the large note for a R15 fare shortly after boarding the minibus taxi, which caused the driver to be upset and frustrated as they argued in the vehicle.

Keith stated in the video that he had no other money besides the R200 note, and the driver kicked him out of the taxi without giving him his money back.

Other passengers chimed in, with some defending the man, saying he may not have had smaller denominations available, while others sided with the driver, calling the move inconsiderate. The tension caused a brief delay as the driver stopped the vehicle to converse with Keith, as seen in the viral clip.

Jerelene Bhemnarayan was not impressed by the man's behaviour toward the driver, saying:

"I enjoy your videos, but this is going too far for likes and fame. The driver is working, and you have people travelling to work or elsewhere. No one has time for such nonsense early in the morning. Big ups to the driver. You deserve that R200, baba."

Keeping up with Keith, Briefly News reported that he shared a video of a woman who transformed pap into crispy nuggets. She shaped the maize meal with cookie cutters, coated them in egg and crushed cornflakes and fried them.

Her innovative twist on the traditional dish left the content creator expressing his astonishment at the recipe. He later tried the recipe himself, indicating it pairs well with meat or other sides. The video went viral and sparked discussions.
