“How’s That Possible?”: Woman Forgets Trolley Packed With Meat After Getting Lost in Window Shopping

• A Sedibeng woman visited a President Square clothing store to browse and walked out without realising she had left her groceries behind
• By the time she remembered and returned to the shopping centre, the store had already shut its doors for the evening
• She came back the following morning and found everything exactly as she had left it, though the ice had melted overnight

A Sedibeng woman’s window shopping session at President Square Shopping Centre almost cost her a full trolley of meat after she walked out of a store and completely forgot she had brought it with her.

Anelisiwe Madizeni visited a clothing store at the Vereeniging mall on 4 March 2026 with just browsing in mind. She had already done her grocery shopping and brought her trolley, packed with meat, into the clothing store with her.

Then the racks got the better of her. She got so caught up looking at the clothes that she walked out empty-handed and left her groceries behind without a second thought.

“I don't know the story, but how do you leave your trolley in a shop and go out to another shop, even for window shopping? How is that possible?”

“Yoh! I once ordered a KFC family meal in the morning when I went to do groceries. In the afternoon, while I was checking my phone, I saw a KFC transaction, and I screamed. 😭I asked my husband to pass by the mall when he knocks off to collect the order, and luckily, they gave him.”
