#OnlyInSouthAfrica - Two rhinos taking a stroll on the streets of Bloemfontein
Things that only happen in South Africa, this one is a definite...
We recently saw a video that made us think about things that we can only expect to happen on the streets of South Africa. Also, this certainly ties into the theme of South African stereotypes by other countries.
Many other countries have a misconception that we have animals just wandering around the streets here. In this case, it was true. Two rhinos were seen taking a stroll on a Bloemfontein street.
"The rhinos are named after Shaka, the famous Zulu king, and Shakira, the Columbia musician." (Find It). The duo escaped a nearby nature reserve on Tuesday morning and decided to take a romantic walk down the street.
"The rhinos’ hike lasted about 20 minutes before they were stopped, shot with an anaesthetic and safely returned to the nature reserve." (Find It). We are happy that they are safe and sound in their habitat, sadly their romantic getaway was cut short.

When we think of car guards, it immediately leaves many of us feeling anxious for some reason. Is it the expectation of always having to give them something or trying to avoid them because you don't have any cash to give them. Regardless, Themba-Robin gives us a good laugh with his TikTok video that has many South Africans saying they can relate.
Many people hopped on to the comments section to say that they feel exactly like this when they go shopping or to any place that has a car guard.

One TikTok user responded by saying: "If avoiding the car guard was an Olympic sport I'd have a gold medal."
While another added: "This other one at woodmead says to it's fine you can wallet if you don't have cash..I was like haaayibo!"
Talk about leaving you feeling guilty!
So, the question is, why do we feel bad? Is it because we feel like we owe them something?
Well, many people feel like they are not actually doing much, so why give them anything, but then ask yourself the question, how do you know that they are not looking out for your car?
Goodthingsguy.com shared the following: "Themba-Robin ends the video off by encouraging people to support car guards. This ties in well with a recent, viral post we shared about a couple that lost everything and became car guards. They explained that if a person cannot give them a tip or a bite to eat, that human decency and respect goes a long way."
