Now this is something you don't see everyday…
South Africa is a truly unique country, and often, something totally unexpected comes along to remind us just how unique it is.
Social media was set ablaze after a video of a taxi blasting Afrikaans singer Kurt Darren's 'Aleen Leen Leen' was shared on social media.

According to Caxton, the vehicle was on the N12 on its way to Potchefstroom from Klerksdorp in the Northwest, transporting runners from the North West N12 Ultra Marathon.
The video, which was shared by The Running Mann on Facebook, has garnered more than 280,000 views since it was posted.
"You get a free ride back to the start of the North West N12 Ultra Marathon in an authentic minibus taxi," read the Facebook post.
"Just how Afrikaans is Klerksdorp? Well here, even the taxi drivers play Kurt Darren for their passengers."
Stuart Mann, 48, the man behind the camera, is from River Club, Sandton. He ran his 268th marathon on May 4.
According to Caxton, it was his first time running the N12 marathon, which started at the NWU McArthur Stadium in Potchefstroom and finished at the Klerksdorp Recreation Centre.

Mann told Caxton Local Media that mostly traditional African music was playing until the Kurt Darren hit started playing.
An Afrikaans woman sitting next to the runner also laughed and reacted to the song.
"When the song came on, she said something like: 'O, gonna, it's Kurt Darren!'"
The other passengers didn’t seem to show too much of a reaction to the song.
"It was quite quiet, but I don’t think you can blame Kurt for that. Most people would have gotten up at about 03:00 to drive through for the 06:00 start and were looking forward to getting home."
