Head-on collision on N2 near Mthatha

A head-on collision occurred between a sedan and a minibus taxi on the N2 outside Mthatha in the Eastern Cape. While no fatalities have been reported, four occupants of the sedan sustained injuries. Newzroom Afrika's Ntsiki Nohiya has more.

Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.

Once when i lost my job i became taxi driver for a year so im speaking as former drivers!!! LETS STOPTHIS BLOODY BOSS OF THE ROAD MENTALITY!!! AND THE REFUSAL TO SLOW DOWN OR GIVE WAY WHEN ANOTHER CAR COMES OUR

The professionalism of the cameraman and crew must be applauded. I like how they preserved/respected the dignity of the injured by not filming them and making sure that they are slightly out of the shot. This is what responsible journalism looks like! However, as much as we all know how taxi drivers are, the journalist's coverage seemed biased and prejudiced against the taxi driver, yet investigations are still underway. Newsroom has extrajudicialy found him guilty and this footage may be used against him in court.

The journalist's translation is completely incorrect, I'm not xosa speaking, but I understood what the driver said. I think she's reporting having made a judgment already.

[MichaelVumile-jblb]

The journalist is pushing the taxi driver to admit guilt.

I see a hatchback not a sedan.... Inaccurate reporting??

[nicsolani]

The only thing I like is that he knows he was on the wrong and above all, there were no fatalities.

[BernicePitso-sz]

He must be jail for attempted murder and reckless driving

[dailyshowtelevisiondstv]

O sis journalist just translated wrongly, not taking any side mara your translation was wrong😢

[siviwembatane]

Those stupid taxi drivers did this accident, those guys in Mthatha full of nonsense.

[RastaAfricanGentleman]

The journalist needs a translator, poor translation and reporting of what happened.

[sandisom]

Maybe one entering the road proceeded without checking for oncoming traffic. Ngamachide asuke adubuleke nje!

[MzamoMthembu-nedj]

How can you overtake multiple cars Nina lapho anikwaz ukushayela qha

[MienieClan]

Again a flippen Taxi - BAN ALL TAXIS !! They do not respect the rules of the road or anyone's life, but instead go in search of quick cash.

[thandozaphi]

Translation Sisi is off point. Not what the man has said. He is only accepting that he was on the oncoming. Which many may see as his fault.

[innocentnzuza]

Reckless driving, as a nation we need to respect each other as road users and the rules of the road. Public infrastructure is not our backyards. Who is going to pay for all these damages and medical bills. There are consequences to our actions.

[RastaAfricanGentleman]

South Africans are too used to taxis, trucks and VW Polos causing accidents but no one wants to speak about the new pandemic of Vans/Bakkies/Double Cabs that cause as much problems on the roads.
