On Thursday, a man, Saso Mahloane, took to the #ImStaying Facebook page to share a story that proved not all traffic officers are bad.

Mahloane's post showed a traffic cop cleaning a street in Thaba Nchu to ensure that motorists did not hurt their cars while driving.

The post was captioned:

"A traffic officer from Thaba Nchu in the Free State was seen cleaning the road after we experienced heavy rainfall. He surely made it easy for #Stayers to drive through."

Paola Harrison added:

"Thank you so much! Now, could this officer be in charge of all traffic officers in the country?"

Marthie Botha Ackermann said:

"Wow... Slowly but surely South Africa is going to be an amazing place to stay. Thank you sir for this good deed."

While the officer was busy trying to clean the road another fed-up South African came up with an unique way to warn motorist about a massive pothole.
