A South African man visiting Earope shared a culture shock.

@wianwest shared a video of him walking in the streets of Europe at night. He came across a shop that sells plates and cups - among other things.

However, what was surprising was the fact that it was at night, the store was "closed," but their stuff was left unattended outside.

The owner didn't pack their stuff and put them away like they normally do in Mzansi. They just left them there. The next day, they will arrive at the shop and continue with their business like they didn't leave their things out in the open.

Given the high crime rate in South Africa, this would never happen. The owner would probably arrive at an empty store the next day.

TikTokkers said they would have the SA urge

South Africa has had many cases of thieves stealing stuff from the stores in daylight. This practice would make the work a walk in the park.

The video got over 14k likes. South African TikTokkers were sharing jokes about how this would never be possible in the country.

Mexican living in Mzansi surprised by needles sold in Dischem

In another story, Briefly News reported about a Mexican living in South Africa who was surprised by needles being sold at Dischem.

In a side-splitting video, @mexicsninsa shared how his experience at a Dischem, where he saw an aisle full of needles, shook him.

He laughingly pointed out that this doesn't happen in America because there are too many junkies, and they would all be stolen!
