A roadside brawl caught on camera on another Mzansi road is making the rounds on social media for all the left and rights.
The @sa_crime X account posted the clip of the fistfight in Parklands, Cape Town, on Saturday.
Roadside scuffle pits delivery drivers and couple
The caption read:

"Road rage in Parklands, Cape Town."
The 85-second clip shows a spat between five people, a white couple and three who appear to be black scooter drivers, including a woman.
Watch the video here.
One male driver is seen holding the white man by the scruff of the neck and unleashing a few punches before the second male driver moves in with a hook.
One of them is heard repeatedly asking:
"What's your problem, hey?!"
The BMW driver retaliates while his female partner attempts to break up the fistfight. Two male bystanders are seen rushing in to try and break up the fight, with one heard saying:
"That's a woman!"
The scuffle breaks up before the white woman goes after the woman, at one point pushing down her scooter and verbally abusing her. But that is the extent of their spat, as no blows are exchanged.
Several seconds pass before the brawl appears to flare up after the couple rains down a series of expletives, resulting in one of the delivery drivers hitting the BMW driver with a helmet on his head and another person kicking the door of the driver's side of the BMW closed.
Mzansi chirps over pummelling scenes

Briefly News looks at the heated commentary.

"I have no idea how this started; I don't know who is right or whose wrong; I'm not gonna talk about race. One thing I can tell you for free is that these bicycles drive udothi (rubbish) on the road, yhuu."
@ADS_ZAR offered:
"The white guy might have overreacted but I know the scooter guys are wrong. These guys drive without any care for the road rules and regulations."
