I suddenly got very sick 2mnts back in a taxi from Greenstone taxi rank to Bedfordford yazi taxi driver drove me into the complex with a load of 15 passengers to drop me at my doorstep without even ukuthetha guys. Some of these men are good.

A friend of mine got into labour when her husband was away. She just grabbed her hospital bag stood on the road and stopped a taxi. The driver drove her to hospital. He refused payment from her

[@cebilendwandwe6857]

This has to beone of the best interviews iv seen by Relebogile. It seemed so organic.

[@phindilemahlangu3103]

When I was an inexperienced driver, I found taxi drivers to be the most accommodating. I understand the annoyance some people might feel towards them, but I find that they show the most humanity on the road.

[@venessamaluleke222]

As a learner driver I legit panicked from all the people hooting at me and the confusion happening. I couldn't drive passed that and just put the hazards on and stopped there and there. A kind taxi driver parked on the side and came and asked if I needed his help. I said yes and he drove my car to the side and once I was fine, "shadowed " me back onto the road with his taxi

[@phindilemahlangu3103]

@@venessamaluleke222 they are really kind and helpful.

[@sizaphlox]

So true especially when you still had the Learner sign. Taxi drivers tend to be more patient than private drivers

[@pmconnect4141]

I HAD A SMILE ON MY FACE THROUGH OUT THE INTERVIEW

[@noreenm5018]

I call Taxi drivers, Kings of Road. I literally think for them on the road and unfortunately most of the time I'm right. The classic, is when a Taxi driver stops in the middle of then road, during peak... I just laugh and wait for them to do whatever, then move, when my King move. It is what it is.

[@sheilandebele7651]

Wow! Such sweet gentlemen Can we have more of these kind of young man🥰🥰 The funny part would be arguing with you guys and boom you just switch to English. That would get everyone shutting up immediately. I'm so proud of you guys

[@LaniZM-uq5gs]

"There's no money 😒" Yhu that part killed me yezwa yho 😭🤣🤣.

[@PlanetCherz]

This reminds me of a time I was traveling from Joburg to PTA and the driver was such a young guy. I'm sitting in the front and he starts chatting me up. He asks what I was studying at the time and tells me he studies RISK Management with Unisa/UJ I can't remember. He started giving me some advise and the whole way I was just flabbergasted by how smart he was😅

[@Drawingboredi]

Smiling the whole show. So charmed and absolutely enjoyed hearing their stories. Thank you guys, Sisi Relebogile and Unpacked team.

[@nompumelelomasango3880]

They are good drivers shame. I have seen a female taxi driver. She was really good. Never had any problems from her. She was the only female driver at that taxi rank. No doubt this was a fun conversation. Thank you Lebo for this interview🤗🤗🤗

[@rorisangmaleka5913]

I personally know Khanya I met him when I was going to kempton park for the first time from katlehong. I was charmed at how he was a gentleman he took this other granny’s bag and put her in her taxi, then he attended to me and showed me where to get a taxi to kempton park yhuuu I pinched myself the whole day 😌

[@mahlohonololebuso741]

[@MsNosihle]

..Relebogile seems to be having such fun during this interview.. sometimes i watch these and worry about your mental health, i think you should do these kinds of topics more often, inbetween the heavy stuff, just for your mental health.

[@sphesihlemamba9964]

I will never forget the day I got on a taxi and took a front seat in SA, got to seat there because I didn't know where I was going so I wanted to seat next to the driver coz I thot he would forget me since I asked him to drop me off at some place. Yooooh I was shocked, the language barrier was worse. I literally wept and the passengers had a good laugh. I learned my lesson though, never seat on the front seat in SA 😂😂😂😂

This is why in the taxi rank in my hood, the female driver i've seen doesn't hang around her car when it's in the queue. Passengers just fill up the car and then when it's ready to go, she gets in the car. Lol some people get shocked when they see her, but they won't get out mos cause the car is full and they want to go.

[@refiloethamaga1625]

Why am I blushing 😊 😅 I have really come to understand them on the road. They actually do ask for permission for you to like squeeze them in and I really appreciate it. Lol they can be a lot sometimes though... Otherwise, we appreciate yall. Let's just work together. We all trying to get to work, home and we trying to get there SAFELY. Sis Lebo, thanks so much.

[@godsbabeborn-again5945]

This has to be the best interview for me on this show. I'll give number 2 to the "White on the outside and Black on the inside". I still use taxis in my 30's and can't wait to buy my own car but I want my car for convenience, not because I have any problems with taxis and taxi drivers. They're humans, they're hustling, they are doing their best. I have nothing but respect for them because they're doing their job. I'm also thinking it's great that it's a male dominated industry because men are generally calmer and know how to deal with people way better than women. I'm a woman so I know that our gender is easily irritated and short tempered. The other guy is right that passengers are most likely the ones who will have an issue with female drivers. As a taxi user, yup, I'm one of the people who would prefer to be driven by a man. May God bless their future endeavors. They're smart young men and can go far in life.
