Locals had this to say:
Glynis van Rensburg said:
"Even if this was private land, that man should know how trucks are being targeted and been mindful of the trucker's desperation!! If that man is a farmer, really he needs to think about how his goods get transported! Well done to the Trucker, push on and stay safe!"
