The elderly lady grabbed him from his back in case they fell. This is where things took a surprising turn. An unknown taxi driver came out of nowhere to rescue Mabandla and the elderly lady.
He stopped his taxi and told them to jump in before asking them where they were heading. Mabandla told him they needed to go two streets away from where they were stuck. The taxi driver asked the passengers in his vehicle if he could drop them off, they happily obliged.

"Guys, I had my moment today. As I was driving along the main road of the township where I stay, I drove past a lady probably in her 50s who was going the opposite direction, probably from work. Judging by the uniform she wore I assumed she's a healthcare worker. She was using crutches and looked very tired...."
