A South African driver decided enough was enough. Sacre Kayembe filmed himself doing to a minibus taxi exactly what taxi drivers do to everyone else on the road every single day, and Mzansi loved every second of it.
The footage, posted on Facebook on 9 August 2026, was captured from inside a vehicle at a busy intersection in what appears to be a South African city. In it, a small hatchback is seen pulling up tight alongside a minibus taxi, boxing it in with the same disregard taxis regularly show other road users. The on-screen caption reads:
"POV: treating taxis how they treat us."
A taste of their own medicine
The clip tapped straight into one of the most shared frustrations in South Africa: the perceived double standard of minibus taxi drivers who cut off, block, and bully other commuters on the road, yet react with outrage the moment someone returns the favour.
