A local restaurant has thought up a fun and clever way of keeping its doors open while still following all level 4 lockdown protocols. The cosy take-away now serves its customers right in their own cars and many other restaurants have followed suit.

Heading to social media, Twitter user @MadishaStevie had this inspiring message to share with Mzansi:
"In order to keep their waiters working and making money ...At Wimpy, The Crossing Mafikeng offers a Drive-In - Eat - in - your - Car experience! This is impressive and great for employees." he captioned the post
It seems diners definitely get the 5-star treatment with the added convenience of staying in the car. A large vertical tray holds food and beverage items across the length of the vehicle while diners simply dig in.
Although a little unconventional, South Africans jumped at the thought of continuing to support local businesses in any way they could. Others were a little concerned government might soon end up banning the brilliant idea.

"Sometimes it’s not ukonqena especially for me. These businesses stay open because of customers and if we don’t support the business fails and people lose their jobs. Unemployment is really high our government doesn’t care we just need to help each other now.'
