@afrikanmunnira said she went to the petrol station with her mom's car. She asked the petrol attendant to put on R68 worth of petrol. However, the attendant put on petrol worth R600. The young lady was nice and understood that things like that happen. She borrowed money from her family and paid for the fuel.
