Mzansi peeps make it known that this would never happen in our country

Seeing the post had many SA people cry laughing when thinking how different this situation would have been if it were to have happened here.

Those TVs would have all been gone in seconds, not to mention the drivers' belongings and whatever people could take from the truck too. Washa, Mzansi people are ruthless!
