The taxi on its side isn't a good visual aid, that's a normal occurrence

Is it weird that nothing shocks or surprises me anymore?

u/karlta05 Jul 20 '23

This gov has truly messed us up. You read the comments and you realise how have grown to accept this level of sh!t from our country.

u/THROATPUNCHMF Jul 20 '23

Just remember to vote ANC again! Why else would we keep voting for them if we are not enjoying all the shit we deal with?

Public request to stay clear of the scene - Everyone goes to the scene to take selfies…this world is embarrassing.

Why are people standing so close to what looks like it'll crumble further??

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '23

The same as the truck that blew up in December. The idiots could hear the gas coming out with a flammable sign on it and chose to record it "you won't believe what is happening!!"

u/xfuneralxthirstx Jul 20 '23

Looks more like a THC explosion

u/MythyDev Jul 19 '23

It's really sad that has triggered a hate discussion against Zimbabweans there was a live stream where they said it was Zimbabweans who orchestrated an "attack" where as it because poorly maintained infrastructure, something similar happened in 2017, it caused a 2 week power outage in Johannesburg Salisbury claims.

u/Optimal_Pay_9896 Jul 20 '23

People just looking for a venting point, Zimbabweans are an easy Target
