A video of two white men dancing at a petrol station forecourt is putting a smile on South Africans’ faces‚ as an antidote to seemingly continuous negative racial interactions and recent footage of a brutal attack on a petrol attendant.
In the video‚ which has gained attention on social media‚ the pair are seen dancing joyously to musician Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse’s 1983 hit single, Burnout.
A few seconds into the two-minute, 43-second-long video‚ a female petrol attendant joins the men in dance before two other people join them.
The cheerful video shows the group dancing happily while bystanders cheer them on.
The video was shared by Facebook user Sheshe Lashez Mlotea on Wednesday and has been already viewed nearly 382 000 times and shared more than 11 000 times. It is not yet clear where or when the video was shot. Mlotea has not yet responded to requests for comment.
His post stated: “This is beautiful! Videos like these are the ones that should go viral … Not the racist crap!“
Many agree‚ including Mlotea’s friend Lungi Malgas Mamosia, who commented: “They look really happy‚ true‚ Sheshe‚ these racist videos are boring seriously now.”
