South Africans were very disappointed and made this known in the comment section of the post. Many of them criticised the government who they said were not leading by example. Read their comments below:
Kenneth Maqala said:
"The same happened yesterday between Harrismith and Kestell, people in the very nice expensive car were looting flour from the overturned truck, what a shame to this nation."
Steve Van Reenen said:
"They learned from the ANC that there no consequences for their actions."
In similar Briefly News reports, South Africans are reacting to a video of a truck being looted near Tshwane, Centurion where looters are seen helping themselves. It remains unclear as to which company owns the truck but it seems it has lost its load of coffee creamers after it was spotted on an R55 busy road in Gauteng.
Posted by @Abramjee on Twitter, the clip shows how drivers and a truck just drop members of the community to collect their boxes. @Mokome_Eddie said:
“What was the load? Because seems like people are helping themselves.”
