                                   Seat surfing is for real when you are in a Zola Budd!


The Zola Budd has been around for quite a while now and I think that it’s about time it “retires”.  I don’t want to get into a Zola Budd, I prefer a Quantum simply because I won’t run the risk of sitting on the surfing seat. You know the seat that closes and opens right? , the one that doesn’t support your back? You sit there supporting your back by sitting upright and holding onto the seat in front of you, and what about those sharp knees poking you from behind? Hai ngeke. The funny thing is that when the taxi starts to speed up and you surfing in Durban while the rest of the taxi is in Joburg, people look at you like you crazy, like it’s your fault or something. Please.


Kelebogile made me laugh until I cried when she told me about her seat surfing experience. The thing is when you seat surfing you can’t wait to get off, so as the taxi was approaching the robot where She, Cas and Ole were supposed to get off they said “after robot”. The driver didn’t stop, oh I can imagine her reaching for the door in desperation, thinking “Yoh I made it” only to surf one last time. The shock, the trauma and oh the survival mode that her body must have had to go through. I can only imagine them singing “After robot” Lol!
