Got on a taxi & after some time , they tell all of us to give them our bags . A THREAD !! https://twitter.com/RachealBakunzi/status/1266308821162606592
My home is in Kasangati so sometimes , the taxis go till Mpererwe & then you have to board another that's going to Gayaza .

I got onto one of those . Reached Mpererwe & boarded another !

There was nothing suspect about it . The taxi had come by empty & we all just go on .
They drive , people get off & on . Drop people at different destinations and pick others . Normal taxi routine really . There were school children , the other passengers looked like they were tired from work . The drive was quiet .

WE WERE NOT READY !!!
If you've been to Gayaza you know that " Kumbuzi " place .

Unrelated : That place seems too đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„ Can't believe I've never checked it out .

So anyway , after that joint , it is like a highway .. there's barely people on the road , just cars etc
So when we get this place that's like a highway of sorts , driver tells conductorr , " Tukikole wano "

I heard this bc I was on the row with the conductors seat . The seat behind the drivers seat .

Conductor turns and says " Mutuwe esawo zamwe "

I thought I was dreaming !!
People first act deaf đŸ€Ł Nigga pulls out a dagger or sumn' . I LOVE MY LIFE so I give him my bag . He tosses it to one of the guys on the row behind us !

Guy picks my phone and hands over my bag back to me

( this was happening with the rest of the passengers )
Meanwhile they had warned us against screaming or doing anything that would attract attention to the taxi .

SO on this taxi , every row had a thief . The same guys we had boarded with ! These men who looked like they had had a long day at work & couldn't wait to go home & rest
The last row !!!

This girl had had conversation with her neighbor during the journey but when the robbery started , she had given in her hand bag ! She had tried to sit on her laptop bag & neighbor she'd been jazzing says , " Neyo gileete "......

Kumbe this guy was on of them
So after doing whatever , they tell us to jump out of the taxi one by one and act like everything is okay

We did . WHO DOESN'T FEAR DEATH

Sooo I was among the people to get out , I decide lemme get the number plate

THE FUCKIN TAXI DIDN'T HAVE A NUMBER PLATE and I kid you not
I know it sounds like a movie but this is REAL LIFE TING !!!!

Meanwhile when I was getting out of the taxi , the conductor pulled through that men audacity and said , " Kale sister nandi kutwade ko out " ( hope this is how they say it )
A lot went on but I had to summarize ! I'm still shooookkkklk to this day !!!!

Can't tell you to be careful about taxis bla bla sometimes it is just badluck . Most times you don't see it coming bc there's nothing to suspect !
