TRY THIS IN AMERICA AND YOU'RE SURE TO BE STOPPED/ARRESTED FOR CHILD ABUSE...

A common sight in Africa, especially in the urban areas. Yeah, children
riding in the bed of a truck (they call such a truck a "bakkie"). Cops look the other way and no one seems to care about such methods of carting people around town. And when it comes to workers, I've seen bakkie's and every kind of open vehicle jam-packed with labourers. There a constant news articles about accidents involving vehicles that are loaded down with passengers--especially what refer to as a "taxi." A taxi is nothing more than a big van, a people-hauler, that in most instances is an accident waiting to happen. I'm sure it would be a "cultural" experience to ride in a taxi, but it might be one's last ride!
