There is no wonder that the minibus was not in roadworthy condition, but the biggest question was what on earth happened to it and how it was still running in that horrid state.

“I love my country,” the post was captioned.

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported on a video of a wrecked car that is still 'driving' has gone viral on social media. The clip was posted on Instagram by @suv.is.lion and cyber citizens are in absolute disbelief. Another vehicle, which could be towing it, can be seen in front of the wrecked vehicle.

Although it is quite difficult to spot the vehicle in front of the wrecked SUV it does make sense that it is being towed rather than wobbling on the road. The clip has gained tons of views and responses from social media users who believe it is being driven.

The car is missing its back bumper, rear window and left backlight, and the portions above the tyres are also gone.
