Not sure who really owns it, the man opened the purse to discover wads of dollar bills and other foreign currencies.
He was able to count over $3000 (R43 826) and some other currencies in different denominations. Apart from the money, there were three ATM cards. The taxi driver also found three international passports.

Honest taxi driver returns R2 650 worth of goods passenger forgot on his taxi
Briefly News reported that Samkelisiwe Mazibuko took to the Facebook group #ImStaying to share her remarkable experience. She was on the way home with R2 650 worth of Avon cosmetics for her clients and forgot the box on a taxi.
She rushed back to the taxi rank and one of the drivers got hold of the taxi driver she'd ridden with earlier.
Amazingly he still had her box and returned to the taxi rank to return it to Samkelisiwe who was waiting for him.
