The shenanigans on Mzansi's roads never seem to let up.

Another example was seen in a clip of an alleged taxi association vehicle wreaking havoc on a seemingly peaceful freeway.

Alleged taxi association terrorises

The @VehicleTrackerz X page posted the now-viral video, filmed by another motorist and sparking angry backlash and concern, with the caption:

"Silver taxi association Corolla at it again. [This] is what happens when your province doesn't have Mkhwanazi."

The 51-second material shows what appears to be a silver Toyota Corolla with a rooftop emergency light bar on a campaign of terror.

Taunting the driver of a Chevrolet Spark following behind it on the two-lane roadway, the apparent association car is seen swerving left and right, blocking them from passing on the freeway.

This is despite the Chevy driver's best efforts to drive off in peace, spurring them to blare the hooter early in the rampage to try to ward off the terrorist.

Meanwhile, several passengers' silhouettes could be seen as, at another point, the terrorising vehicle's brakes are applied, forcing the other also to slam on theirs, an action that brings the cars within a hair of crashing.

Ultimately, their quick thinking allows them to escape the situation unscathed after the Corolla stops and someone in an orange and yellow vest steps out.

"These taxi association gents are asking for it. Sooner or later, they are going to meet their match. We will be there."

@kingscelo_05 said:

"These Corolla guys are asking for something, and soon they'll receive [it]."

@MolemoAnita added:

"Hi, @SA_Taxis. What do think about this? It's now becoming a weekly thing if not daily. Why I'm saying daily is because someone doesn't [always] have time to record this to provide [as] evidence. Recently, we had the same road rage bossy kind of behaviour from the same association."
