Panel 1
At dusk an intersection is jammed with cars, a green minibus and a delivery scooter under faulty traffic lights, as Rassie steps away from his car, determined.
Caption: The robots are on the blink. Green. In every direction.
Rassie: Right. Somebody has to referee this.
Panel 2
Rassie stands in the centre of the intersection with his arms out like a referee as cars from all four directions edge forward.
Rassie: Crouch. Bind. Set.
Panel 3
Bra Tshepo’s green minibus taxi has nosed out early. Rassie points one arm straight at it while Bra Tshepo leans out of his window protesting.
Rassie: Taxi! Early engagement. Free kick to the gogo in the hatchback.
Bra Tshepo: Eish, ref! I didn’t even move!
Rassie: Nobody ever did.
