“Not that funny... this could be for two reasons, hungry or needs a fix.”

@NkosiGoddess said:

“Hawu just one piece nje… he should have asked nicely but also the madala could have allowed the clearly starving guy to have that one piece. I mean it looks like scrap to me but I could be wrong.”

@JDD15491 said:

“Truck driver taken the video could have helped... Because I bet you now if his load is getting stolen he would want help as well from people passing by.”

Security team deployed by KZN businesses to protect N3 and N2 highway "crime hotspots" from being looted

In related news, Briefly News reported that in an effort to protect trucks from being looted, businesses in KwaZulu-Natal have enlisted the help of private security companies to ensure safety on the N2 and N3.

The route that is the main roadway for the distribution of goods from KwaZulu-Natal to the rest of the country saw major delays last week when truck drivers protested against foreign nationals.

Several security companies have joined forces for the initiative. The Head of KZN VIP Protection Glen Naidoo told TimesLIVE that private companies were hired to ensure there were no interruptions while goods were being transported. He said the continuous disruptions create massive delays and significant damage to vehicles.
