A gentleman was not happy when he was accused of stealing at a well-known retail store.

BI Phakathi took to his Facebook page and posted a video showing the man arguing with employees of the shop. It is not clear if the person who was accused was a South African philanthropist.

The man was particularly angry at one employee who called him a thief without any proof. The management came out to handle the issue. They apologised and the gentleman continued with his shopping.
