NOMPUMELELO Sithole (28) was sleeping peacefully in bed in the early hours of yesterday.
When she suddenly woke up surrounded by a thick dust cloud, she thought the shack had collapsed . . .
And she realised the fridge had landed on top of her – and that a taxi was parked in the shack!
Luckily, the strong woman was not hurt and she pushed the heavy fridge off her bed.
“The taxi’s front lights were still on,” Nompumelelo told the People’s Paper.
“I wanted to ask the driver what had happened, but he wasn’t in the taxi. I still have questions. Thank God I wasn’t hurt.”
Nompumelelo’s brother Oscar Shibunda (31), who owns the shack in Alexandra, north of Joburg, said the taxi was still parked inside when he arrived.
“Neighbours know the owner of the taxi,” said Oscar.
“They phoned him to come and fetch it.”
He said the taxi owner had agreed to fix the shack.
They did not open a case at the cop shop.
