So let me share my near death/rape experience.
There was this one particular day when I made my way to the office but taxis were full and I struggled to find a cab. So I decided to walk until I eventually find one.
So at some point a taxi just stop and without looking studying it, I got in. Once I was in the cab, I realised the cab was full and I was the only woman.
I was seated on the side so I figure it was okay, I could still jump out if I needed to.
The cab drove past my office and took the route to Game and I complained but almost in one accord the men said they must just drop one of them because he was in a hurry.
It was a strange explanation because we basically drove past my office so it didn& #39;t make sense. Anyhow, I did not pay it much attention.
At some point, I looked up looking into the rearview mirror and I caught the driver communicating with the guy sitting right behind him - using their eyes. I realized they were planning something.
And they were. just after the robots at the City of Windhoek junction near game they turned and stopped and the driver jumped out to come to my side and the guy in the back jumped out to get in the driver seat.
Mara, my ancestors and Jesus said "Not today tsotsi!" And the minute the car stopped I jumped out and ran down the street.
The driver started cursing me and ran after me and told me to get back into the care. Now, for a passerby it would look as if I was his wife/partner and we had fall out.
In other words, people paid it no mind because of what they assumed it looked like and also because of the traffic and because it whoever wanted to intervene would get to work late.
Anyhow, I ran and I ran and - whoooo I ran for my life. In high heels no less.
So what I am trying to say is, be vigilant. Put your phone away when you are in a cab and pay attention.
