Taxi!

This is a picture of Karabo. Our new church in Thulani (Snake Park) meets in his mom's house.  He is pretending to be a taxi driver - complete with honking the horn and yelling for passengers. He even used the specific local hand signals.  

 Taxi driving may not be such a desirable occupation for this young man.  Last week, in one location, the police in Joburg arrested over 100 taxi drivers for deliberately breaking the rules of the road.  One of the local papers, The Sowetan, ran this headline, "Defiant taxi drivers tell cops they will break all rules of the road to make money."  Explaining the new hardline policy, Sergeant Mabaso told The Sowetan, "We will push this campaign until they comply."  Mduduzi Xulu, a taxi driver, was also quoted in the article saying, "We won't stop.  The police won't be here forever."

One wonders how long this operation will have to continue to be successful. 

Forever?
