Mzansi Calls Person Out for Taking a Video While Thug Tries to Steal Car in JHB: “Content Hungry Society”

• A video showing a man attempting to steal a vehicle has been doing the rounds on the social media streets
• The thief is seen fiddling inside a parked VW Polo with the front driver’s window completely smashed
• Several Mzansi online users expressed that the person behind the camera should have called the cops or screamed to alert people of the crime

Crime has sadly become an everyday reality in South Africa. However, be that as it may, peeps have made it clear that efforts to curb it still need to be enforced when the opportunity presents itself.

This comes after the cyber community called out an individual who recorded a video of criminal activity from his/her apartment instead of taking action. The footage was shared by anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee and shows a man through a smashed window of a VW Polo as he frantically fiddles inside the vehicle.

“People take videos with one thing in mind: Twitter.”

“Why is the person just taking the video and not taking action? How do we know it was just 'attempted' because the video is too short. What if he took the car away?”
