The video, which has garnered thousands of comments and reactions since its release on X (formerly Twitter), has raised numerous questions and speculations among netizens.Viral Video and Social Media Reactions
ZANewsFlash captioned the now-viral video, “Ewu, kwaze kwanzima nge bus lika MaMkhize,” which translates to “Oh, it’s tough for MaMkhize’s bus.” This post quickly sparked discussions, with many users linking the incident to MaMkhize’s ongoing issues with the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

 

Speculations and Reactions
One user speculated whether the bus was among the movable assets SARS was looking to seize, while others noted that the bus had been out of service for over a year. “I believe that this is the same bus that has been parked at a panel beating shop behind Supreme Motor Spares in Isipingo for more than a year,” commented one user. Another added, “Everything is falling apart. Voters have closed down all her tender taps. Now she’s on her own.”SARS and MaMkhize’s Tax Woes
