In the clip, a salesman stands inside the dealership surrounded by high-end vehicles, including the latest BMW models, Porsche units and the iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. He held up a familiar black Woolworths shopping bag, with which he began his tongue-in-cheek presentation, drawing viewers in with his confident delivery.
He explained that while the bag may not have "horsepower," it certainly offers 'space to put stuff in stuff that could buy you this." He made this statement while showcasing the different high-end cars.
The salesman then gestured towards the luxury wips behind him, adding that if you own two Woolworths bags, then you can purchase cars like the Porsche or G-Wagen.

He then continued the playful banter, advising viewers that if they hope to own one of the dealership’s luxury vehicles, they may need to "get yourself a Woolworths bag."
The video ended, which was published on 6 December 2025 by the Facebook user EB Motors, with a final comedic jab, telling viewers that if they require more information on where to obtain the bag, they should "check with your nearest commission inquiry."
The reference was a direct nod to the allegedly fraudulent businessman Vusi "Cat" Matlala, who admitted to using Woolworths' reusable shopping bags to conceal money for illegal operations during his testimony before the South African parliamentary ad hoc committee on November 27, 2025
The dealership’s video has since been met with applause, with many South Africans praising the business for its quick wit and ability to tap into a trending conversation while showcasing its premium lineup.
