In more crime-related news, Briefly News previously reported that a video of a group of thugs hijacking two vehicles in Botswana went viral on social media. The clip was shared on Twitter by popular user @kulanicool and many cyber citizens were under the impression that it was South Africa.

Kulani captioned the post:

"Crime in this country."

The incident allegedly occurred in Gaborone, Botswana last week and is currently being investigated by police in the country. While the hijacking is still a scary thing to go through, locals were unimpressed by the Twitter user's lack of information.

Peeps called Kulani out in his replies section for not specifying which country the horrific incident occurred in:

@MadiBoity shared:

"This is BOTSWANA NOT SOUTH AFRICA."
