As thousands of residents queued for food parcels, they used this opportunity to charge people to transport their food parcels home.

Business was booming for people who owned cars, trolleys and wheelbarrows in Olivenhoutbosch, Centurion, on Saturday.

Vehicle owners charged between R20 and R30 per person, depending on the distance they were travelling, while wheelbarrow and trolley pushers charged between R10 and R15 per load.“Yesterday after receiving my food, I noticed that people were struggling to carry their food and I then started charging them. Many have now joined us. We are pushing their loads to taxis as they are not allowed near the school.

Kabelo Motloung said he and his friends were taking a walk when they saw people waiting outside the school. “I would rather push a wheelbarrow the whole day than rob people. This is an honest way of making money legit,” he added.
