The video was shared on Facebook by the EMalahleni Residents/Community-Municipality group.

The clip shows a taxi stopping in the middle of T-junction, presumably waiting for a passenger on the other side of the road to hop in. Seconds after stopping, a tractor with two trailers turns into the intersection, dragging the taxi.

A frustrated-looking woman runs across the road as she watches the taxi getting pulled away by the tractor. The woman's frustration is palpable to the viewer when she lifts her arms over her head in disbelief before running after the taxi.

Even though the video was taken in 2021, South Africans still found the clip satisfying.
