There are many things to love about South Africa – its unbridled natural beauty, its colourful cultures, but most of all, its people.
South Africans are a resilient bunch, so when whispers of a massive fuel increase started circulating, panic and outrage were soon followed by creative ways to get around. Well, that appeared to be the case with one daredevil.
With petrol set to cost South Africans R24/litre, anything with four wheels will do at this point, right?
In a viral video shared on social media, a man in Pretoria appeared to take this to heart as footage showed him sitting comfortably in a shopping trolley as he held on to the back of an Engen fuel truck. The irony is certainly not lost on us, but while he appeared to be holding on for dear life, he also seemed to be having tons of fun!
While we may not want to fork out R24/litre when filling up at the petrol station, this may be a little extreme, but we love South African ingenuity.
Take a look at the video:
