On Wednesday, a lady, Jessica Mathabatha, took to Facebook to share how petrol attendants helped her in her time of need.
Mathabatha revealed she was on her way to join her running club for a jog on Wednesday morning when she got a flat tyre after hitting a kerb.
The incident happened at 04:45 in the morning and Mathabatha did not feel comfortable enough to pull off the road as a woman alone in Johannesburg, especially since it was still dark.
So, she slowed her speed and drove to the nearest filling station. Upon arriving at the Sasol garage on North Reef Road, the car was on its rim and petrol attendants saw she was in trouble.
Mathabatha said the attendants rushed to her aid and quickly started to change her tyre, Briefly.co.za gathered.
