Cute video of little girl helping petrol attendant shake taxi has Mzansi broken

Briefly News previously reported that petrol attendants are a vibe in South Africa. Seeing a little girl help one shake a taxi to get max fuel into it had citizens busting.

Mzansi is a unique place where petrol attendants see you in worse states than your closest friends and they share a dance with you after the groove while you shovel a pie from the convenience store.

This is definitely one for the books. Only in Mzansi, and people couldn’t help but love every moment of it.
