The altercation shows two men confronting the taxi driver in the middle of the road. They managed to get his door open, but the driver got out and took on both of them. When it became clear that they were losing the fight, one of the men produced a firearm and pointed it at the driver. The driver did not flinch or retreat.

One man, two "cowards"

What started as a two-on-one attack ended in embarrassment for the aggressors. The driver refused to be intimidated, even with a gun in his face. Mayikana did not hold back in her reaction to the clip. He called the men cowards for pulling a weapon on a single person they could not beat with their fists.
