Woman Hilariously Calls Out Takealot for Unnecessary Packaging

  • A woman hilariously called out Takealot for flooding her home with unnecessary delivery boxes
  • The lady’s "public service announcement" defeated the internet as she was very sincere yet undeniably funny while keeping a straight face

“This video is for the owner of Takealot, so if you don’t own Takealot, go away.”

@Abu Mzwakali confessed to having eavesdropped on the conversation and said:

“We are all NOT Mr Takealot but we all stayed and listened.”
