A fierce altercation between a motorist and a group of Takealot delivery drivers is being attributed to an outpouring of grief. A video circulating on social media shows a man and a younger passenger swamped by several drivers who take turns striking the two motorists.

“According to our investigation, the incident in the video occurred during a funeral procession for a deceased independent contractor driver who tragically passed away following a motorcycle accident a few weeks earlier,” Takealot explained. The company claims the motorist disrupted the procession, resulting in a minor accident, which sparked the physical confrontations. This spurred a spirited discussion on funeral processions, with the team and listeners answering the question, "do you give your loved ones a dignified service or allow them to be celebrated the way they lived?"
