The chap shared a clip of himself with zero swimming skills while out with friends. One of his mates, who saw him having a difficult time in the pool, swiftly got out of the water and watched as the fella tried his best to save himself.

The scene looked planned, as the guys had no sense of urgency, and one person was holding a camera while their friend was “drowning”. One of the guys who had been hanging around the pool took off his shirt and helped Enkosi out of the pool:

“I still get PTSD every time I see a pool.”

Enkosi highlighted that his friends were stunned because they thought he was pulling their leg:

“That’s what they said after.”

Mzansi was startled by the young man’s experience and shared their thoughts in a thread of comments.
