Sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic is far from enjoyable. What's worse is wondering if your vehicle will reach its destination after only throwing in a few rands of fuel.
A Johannesburg-based woman named Pamela endured this struggle after sharing on her TikTok account (@pammy_mo) that she was sitting in heavy traffic on Malibongwe Drive after only filling up her car with R100 worth of petrol.
In her TikTok video, Pamela showed app users how congested her side of the road was while traffic was free-flowing on the other side.
Instead of taking the normal 20 minutes to get to where she needed to be, the woman shared in her comment section that it took her over an hour.
