Several Mzansi peeps couldn't help but poke fun at the odd sight, as they pointed out that such a basic motor issue did not require much manpower.

Other observant users noticed a bottle of Coca-Cola and Mboweni's favourite tinned food, Lucky Star, placed near the vehicle and cracked jokes that he always had the meal on hand.

@RivakBunce replied:

"Five men to change a tyre. That has the ANC government written all over it."

"I would be embarrassed. 5 Men to do something that you should be able to do? Thats disgusting. Even my 15 year old daughter knows how to change a tyre. Or is it because you are just too dam lazy to do it yourself?"

@nc_rikhotso2 responded:

"I like your car he kokwan Mboweni. I'm sure it's a V8."

"I change a tyre alone. Was the first thing I learnt before I could even drive. U just need to have a jack, a spanner and a spare wheel. Unless u wanted to feed those guys some Lucky Star lol."

"No sir, just one man is enough to change a wheel."

@uLoyiso_ replied:

"Ndibone kwa ulale ngathi usi sniper when changing a tyer ngasho ngathi weleleee."
