A woman has thanked two local police officers in a hearty Facebook post after they helped the stranded woman repair her broken-down car. The lady found herself stuck one evening alongside a quiet main road.

According to Bulelwa Lizalise Sibaya's Facebook post, the woman and her family had suffered a tyre puncture while travelling from Umthata to George. Unfortunately, no one in the vehicle had the necessary spanner to change the damaged tyre.
