Yesterday 2oceansvibe broke the horrific story of a taxi driver’s near-lethal bout of road rage.
The video, showing a taxi driver repeatedly ramming and running over a pedestrian, before kicking him to the ground, has since gone viral.
Today, 2oceansvibe ascertained from Brent Oil’s spokesperson that the incident took place at this location.
Yusuf Abramjee, Head of News and Current Affairs at Primedia Broadcasting, and chairperson of the National Press Club, told 2ov that the taxi driver has been arrested on Saturday afternoon already.
“It happened on Friday. The driver was arrested on Saturday. The victim is a homeless man who has not opened a charge. It happened in Bloemfontein outside a filling station. When I was alerted yesterday about this, Lead SA alerted the Ministry of Transport who got the The Road Traffic Management Corporation to also probe it. I’ve just been told by the National Prosecuting Authority they are also following up to see the status of the case. The worrying part is the Public who stand alongside doing nothing. That’s why the Lead SA philosophy of creating an active civic society is what we need.”
