Free groceries interest students
A few social media users, who happened to be students, headed to the UFS student's comment section to ask how she got the groceries from the local store.
When @motaungomolemo asked how Luyanda took home the groceries at no cost, she explained to the TikTok user:
"They were on campus giving out freebies."
@khwezithobiesands_mak laughed when they shared what they received:
"Haibo, I got three of those packs and a sparkling water maker."
@kamhayise_, who also reaped the benefits of the free products, wasn't specific when they saw that Luyanda had more than one of the items:
"Chommie, you took two. Yoh, they were watching us."
