When Rickshaws Get Too Heavy

Tuk-Tuks Under Scrutiny
Earlier this year, there was another viral moment involving alternative transportation in South Africa. The Tshwane Metro Police Department impounded 24 tuk-tuks after discovering they were operating illegally on the roads. This sparked a wave of humor from South Africans, who took to social media to voice their opinions. Some joked that the tuk-tuks should be given a “driver’s license test,” while others suggested they needed “fitness certificates” to ensure they could handle the load. It just goes to show how South Africans can find humor even in the most serious situations!
