I just want to share my experience and appreciate people spiritual gifts. This happened in 2014 and till this day 6 years later I am still in disbelief #gogoappreciation [THREAD]

19 year old me just started varsity,new city( JHB), new everything wethu ok shap, I move in with my brother. So since I was not staying at res and had no access to the Mega bus, he would drop me off at campus and pick me up after my lectures. Ok shap

For some odd reason my brother tells me Nah he is tired of driving from Lyndhurst to Auckland park. I must learn to take taxishttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">. And this is where the actual story begins. A lousy taxi ride from MTN taxi rank to Lyndhurst that almost took my life yerrhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">

Haike it& #39;s a normal day, I& #39;m tired after a day of lectures plus the que at the rank was loooong so finally I get on, take a seat. I& #39;m sitting by the window, a fairly young lady( in her 20& #39;s) sits next to me holding a plastic like bag, she is holding it tight against her chest....

I pay no mind to her because andingeni ndawo moss. She doesn& #39;t even greet but akhonto wethu JHB people are like that moss. So the taxi finally gets full and we are ready to go...Shap!

Lo Sisi is so restless during this trip & I& #39;m thinking she is having a panic attack but I ignore her but ha.a Maan she is shaking nale plastic ayiphetheyo iyangxola etaxini...I ask her if uryt sisi but she just looks at me with disgust & again I thought maybe it& #39;s a JHB thing. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😐" title="Neutrales Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neutrales Gesicht">

We are now approaching Balfour park. Someone taps my shoulder from the seat behind me. I look over I see a hand, I cannot see the face as yet but a hand, this person& #39;s wrist has all kinds of beads and also animal skin. Quite obvious this person is a Sangoma/healer of some sorthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">

I& #39;m thinking maybe he/she wants me to tell the driver the next stop. So she says to me " mntanami ulikholwa?" Ndijike intloko yoh iSangoma bawo why would she ask thishttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">. My heart is in my throat. The lady next to me is sweating AF her her plastic bag still held tight.

The Sangoma lady jumps off her seat behind me and shouts - these were her exact words " BABA MISA IMOTO SIZO SHONA"

Jesus of Nazareth! at this point I want to piss myself https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">. Im thinking Ndinama demoni maybe thats why she asked if I& #39;m a believer. She saw something yoh yoh.

Now everyone is in shock, babies are crying, udriver naye is confused cause this woman is now standing and shouting .she literally says if you don& #39;t stop this car, we will all die. the Gogo& #39;s in the taxi beg the driver to stop... they are terrified

The car stops in the middle of the road imagine. She goes to the front looks my direction https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> and I& #39;m thinking holy shit what could I have possibly donehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">. Now everyone looking my direction and the lady next to me still holding her plastic bag for dear life

She walks closer. She looks at the lady next to me, she points and says " wena Santana uthunywe ubani"
The lady looks down.
At this point I can no longer hold my tears, i am in shock and terrified, I want to get off this taxi fast !

Old lady says, PHUMA! Pointing at the door Sana lasisi did not even say a word or hesitate she got off the taxi with her plastic bag. No words NOTHING. We are all confused trying to figure out what just happened. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok">. There is silence in the taxi everyone in shock

The old lady is now lecturing the driver that he must "protect" all his vehicles and business. & that lentombazane ebezo gingqa imoto. The bag she was carrying had Muthi she was going to put it under the seat and jump off leaving us and him(the driver) in a bloody scene. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">

Apparently she was shaking because there was that old wowan in the taxi, she couldn& #39;t finish her job. I honestly think if it wasn& #39;t for that gogo we would& #39;ve all died https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">.I& #39;m still not sure if that old woman was a songoma umthandazeli I really cannot tell the difference

6 years later I still think of you Mama, wherever you are i just want to thank you and your guides for protecting ushttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🕯️" title="Kerze" aria-label="Emoji: Kerze">

It is also important that we pray even if we are traveling a short distance. The devil really doesn& #39;t sleep guys. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">. Pray Noba uya eShop. Etaxini. Ebasini. In that flight. PRAY.
