“We Need Extra Lanes”: Woman Gets Chest Pains After Being Stuck in Joburg Traffic With R100 Petrol

• A young woman living in Johannesburg had to spend most of her time sitting in heavy traffic with only R100 petrol in her tank
• Instead of reaching her destination in her usual 20 minutes, the woman shared it took over an hour
• Many people online felt that they could relate to the traffic jams often occurring on Malibongwe Drive

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.
