Word of the Day [04 Sep 2026]
Mageza
Short for Magezel'empompeni, is a derogatory name used to refer to a taxi driver. The word directly translates to "the one who baths from a tap". The name originates from that stereotype that taxi drivers have a long distance relationship with water.
Abo mageza from Jozi are so rude and funny at the same time.
