'Gomora' actress Mazet says 'tired' cab driver made her take the wheel
And she paid for the ride!
In one of the latest “unique to Mzansi” experiences reported on the TL, Gomora actress Siphesihle Ndaba joined hilarious conversations about odd things that happened to people while using app based cab-hailing services.
Commenting on a since deleted tweet in which a person shared that their Uber driver made them drive themselves, Siphesihle shared that a similar thing happen to her in Durban.
The actress, who plays Mazet in the Mzansi Magic telenovela, said the cab driver told her he was tired and asked if she would be willing to switch seats.
Thinking he was joking, Siphesihle said "yes" ... kanti it wasn't a joke.
“This happened to me in Durban. Driver wathi ukhathele and asked if I can drive. I playfully said yes. Did the guy not pull over and jump in the back seat? I ended up driving myself to The Chefs' table,” she shared.
Finding the incident hilarious in retrospect, Siphesihle's fans asked if she ended up paying for the ride.
The actress said she paid. She said she was so shocked that she forgot to ask if driving herself meant a cheaper ride.
One tweep couldn't help but involve Siphesihle's on-screen character, Mazet.
Mazet is a hard-core gangster and the tweep figured Siphesihle should have channelled her inner Mazet and dealt with the cab driver at Sonto's workshop.
LOL!
