In a country where cash-in-transit trucks are often regarded as one of the most targeted vehicles by criminals looking to make a quick penny, one social media user has left the entire internet stunned when he dared to do the unthinkable. 

Known by many as the petrol attendant who dances, young Sihle Nkocy has earned the respect of thousands of onlookers who recently praised him for his courage and bravery. 

This comes after the Astron attendant recently did the unthinkable by taking his dance routine to new levels. In one of his latest videos, he can be spotted showcasing some sleek moves from a popular Magumba dance challenge while holding onto the feared vehicle. 

While most may have been impressed by his talented attributes, others held their breath, noting that danger lurks around the corner when those kinds of vehicles are close by.

In a sigh of relief, many rushed to the comment section to share what went through their mind as they saw the video.  

“Challenge closed. You walked through the valley of the shadow of death,” one user wrote. 

Another jokingly added: “I will tell my future kids that this was the real Mandela, a brave man who risked his life for his people.” 

Others, meanwhile, praised the young creative for his smooth dance moves. 

“This guy completely closed the magumba challenge. I’m done. This is my favourite,” one user commented. 

The video has since received more than 6 million views on TikTok.
