A video posted on Facebook captured the scene of a car fire incident at a Caltex garage in Pniel, just outside of Stellenbosch.
The uploaded video was accompanied with the caption, ‘Brand in motor by vulstasie geblus,’ (fire in car at petrol station extinguished). The video shows a car engulfed in smoke.
One user commented, saying, ‘ons was daar. [‘n] bakkie het kom stop en is baie ge”rev” en toe slaan dit aan die brand.’ (we were there. [A] bakkie came to stop and was “revved” a lot and then it caught fire).
The exact details are yet to be confirmed.
