Taxi drivers and their patrol teams have gone on a rampage across Johannesburg tipping over Bajaj Bolt-Go mini taxis. Passengers in a private car in Ferndale, Randburg, recorded a video of three bullies, believed to be from a local taxi association, destroying a Bajaj Qute car next to a residential area.
The 50-second-long video is viral and has been viewed over 384 000 times. At this stage, it is unclear what the driver did or where he was when this violent damage to property took place.
One man is seen throwing a brick at the back window of the yellow car, shattering it into small pieces; another is seen damaging tyres; and another, destroying the body of the car.
The frightened onlookers try to record where the driver has run off to, but he is not visible on the video.
The perpetrators are seen totally destroying the car, unaware of their surroundings or taking notice that they were being recorded, before entering a tactical patrol vehicle clearly marked with the name of the association and driving off.
