WATCH: 47 schoolkids crammed into minibus taxi

The video has astonished SA, but appears to be a routine form of scholar transport in Nelson Mandela Bay.


A taxi driver was arrested on Monday after police in Port Elizabeth stopped his vehicle and patiently counted as many as 47 disembarking passengers.

A Toyota Quantum should hold no more than 16 passengers.

Another taxi driver was reportedly also arrested while carrying 36 school pupils, suggesting that overloading such vehicles so dangerously is little more than a daily occurrence in the Eastern Cape.
