Only in SA: The most hilarious tow of a jalopy

Only in SA: The most hilarious tow of a jalopy

Nothing on our streets could ever shock us; we feel like we have seen it all in South Africa.

The people of South Africa always amaze us with their exciting antics on the roads. 

We have seen motorists carting lions in the back of their bakkies, taxi drivers using car phone holders for their calculators, and... you catch our drift. 

While some might find this weird, we see it as resilience and the ability to always make a plan. Making a plan has always been something that we pride ourselves on as a nation, regardless of our backgrounds. 

This time we see a motorist who came across something humourous (and most likely illegal). 

In South Africa, like any other country, legal requirements must be followed when towing a motor vehicle. By the looks of this video, we are unsure whether the motorist towing the shell of a car followed these regulations. 

But it sure did account for some entertainment, especially for those driving next to these vehicles on the Elsies River, Cape Town streets. 

The video shows a white vehicle resembling a VW Golf towing a 'jalopy' or 'broken' car. The towed vehicle is missing many parts but has two men sitting inside. One was trying to steer the car while it was being towed, and the other was messing around.
