A tanker truck driver and his assistant were caught on a viral video stealing and selling fuel in Zambia. The video, which was obtained by MandyNews.com on Sunday, March 5, shows a young woman confronting the men who were selling gasoline on the side of the road.
According to the video, the truck driver and his assistant had been sent to deliver gasoline but decided to take another road to discharge some of the gallons and sell them to some young men. The woman, who was taking a walk, happened to bump into the truck driver and his assistant, who were in the process of selling the gasoline.
Upon realizing what was happening, the woman confronted the men, accusing them of stealing and telling them that she was not afraid of them. In response, the driver quickly jumped into the truck and drove off, leaving his assistant behind.
The video has since gone viral on social media, with many people expressing their outrage at the truck driver and his assistant’s illegal activities. The incident has shed light on the issue of petrol theft in Zambia, which is a growing problem in the country.
Petrol theft is a serious issue that affects many countries around the world. It often involves individuals or groups who illegally siphon petrol from pipelines, tanks, or other sources and sell it on the black market. In many cases, the stolen petrol is of poor quality and can cause serious damage to vehicles and machinery.
In Zambia, petrol theft is a major problem that has led to significant financial losses for the government and legitimate businesses. The government has taken steps to combat the issue, including increasing the penalties for petrol theft and conducting more frequent inspections of petrol stations.
The incident involving the truck driver and his assistant is a stark reminder of the need for more effective measures to prevent petrol theft and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. It is also a reminder of the importance of public vigilance and citizen participation in combating crime and corruption.
