WATCH: NW taxi driver drags elderly woman out of taxi | News Article

An absurd video of a man believed to be a taxi driver dragging an elderly woman out of a stationary taxi in Khuma near Stilfontein outside Klerksdorp in the North West has been doing the rounds on Facebook.


In the video, the man can be heard hulling insults and calling the woman degrading names. It is not yet clear what may have led to the heated exchange of words between the two.

The elderly woman can also be heard telling the driver that she won’t keep quiet while being insulted and continually dared the driver to hit her.

Meanwhile, spokesperson for the Khuma Taxi Association, Eric Mcaciseli Sijadu, tells OFM News on Tuesday that the association is not aware of the incident.

The incident is believed to have occurred on 15 December, a day before Reconciliation Day.

This left other passengers in shock as they frantically screamed and begged the driver to leave the elderly woman alone but sadly none of them came to her aid when she was harshly tossed out of the taxi by the aggressive driver.

Many Facebookers launched a scathing attack on the behaviour of the driver with some saying it was an act of a barbaric person.

Some called for the local taxi association to take serious measures against the driver.

One Facebook user, Refilwe Tshabalala, said: “Pathetic behaviour and the fact that people sat and still did not move out ??“

Another user, Funeka Gladys Selome, said: “Siss rhaaa mna umntu ko wam umama ang** ny**” [“It’s a shame. No-one would do that to my mother, all hell will break loose.”]
