A woman thanked another online after she stopped to help her with her car troubles.
Simply known as Farm Girl on social media platforms, a farmer who uses the handle @fifi_dvc took to her TikTok account to reshare a tweet she posted on X. In the post, she thanked a white woman who pulled over on the freeway to assist her with a punctured tyre.
She also said in the tweet:
"May you never have a change of heart. I was panicking since I’m new to GP (Gauteng province). I’m intentionally mentioning her race because she didn't know I’m a farmer or speak Afrikaans."

"It's time we put politics aside and look at a person and see for ourselves the good in them."
@_audz0 wrote in the comments:
"It’s the right thing to do as a human. We should never first look at someone's race before deciding whether we want to help! I’m glad you got assistance and that you are okay."

"We are South Africans, and it's in our blood that we help each other. It's the criminals and corrupt people that make our country look bad."
