A taxi owner in Phoenix, Durban, says he is lucky to be alive after being attacked with a bush knife. He reports being slashed three times by a man he knew while dropping off a passenger.
The incident is described as a targeted attack by someone familiar to the taxi owner rather than a random assault. Police and investigators are not detailed in the provided information, and no information about the attacker’s identity, motive, or whether anyone is arrested is included. The account emphasizes the severity of the injuries and the victim’s survival.
With only one outlet’s report provided, there are limited perspectives on the event. Other details that could typically help place the incident in context—such as the location, time of day, or police response—are not specified in the available summary, so the full circumstances remain unclear.
