Msomi told the publication that Mhlaba was driving recklessly and at high speed when she crashed into the back of his car.

“I wasn’t happy with the way she was driving, mainly because the weather was bad and that road is always full of trucks.

“So, I decided to drive past her. I then noticed a cow in the middle of the road and immediately applied the breaks. This caused her to crash into my car, causing damage on the back bumper.

“I suspect she did not see the cow because she was following me very close.”

“Had she kept the distance, she would’ve seen the cow and avoided the accident. I told her this but she refused to take accountability,” he said.

“A few days later I contacted her with the intention of getting a solution to this problem. I wanted her to fix my car or apologise.
