On probability it would appear that the metro were picking up to relocate. The question is why they did not have any documentation to verify who they were and where they were taking the donated goods to, you would think that they would have procedures in place (verification of who they were, intended destination, description of goods picked up then verification that goods arrived at distribution centers) the ward councillor should also have been aware. ANC doing what they do best, muddling simple issues. Based on previous habit's one cannot be blamed for being sceptical.
The aid was being managed by the Air Flight School and the municipality was assisting with distribution, there was clear failure in communication somewhere in the chain, something that could have easily be resolved if someone didn't see her moment in the limelight and decided to seize it.

Fathima Khan of Focus Air Flight School said the video was incorrect.

Khan said the lady from the municipality was uplifting food to distribute in the smaller areas where the helicopter cannot go to.

“The lady that was shouting and screaming is not from any part of Virginia but she is from the neighbourhood but not someone that works or is part of Virginia Airport,” Khan said.

With the ANC history it's not surprising The lady in the video was most likely dropping off goods, saw what appeared to be metro helping themselves and freaked. Ward councillor should have been aware and Fatima should also have stepped in before it escalated.

The problem, as I see it, is that the items were forcibly removed. Even if they were authorized to assist in distribution, the manner in which it was done is not justified.

The only person who escalated the incident is the Karen, I wish I could say she had learnt her lesson but I know the type. A reasonable person would have arrived there and made sure of the facts before going on a tirade and starts accusing people of things.

Shifting ?? Would not have been an issue to start if the metro had procedures, if they did they would not have returned the goods. Where was Fatima in all this ??

The video. Was it not obvious to you that the donors /volunteers running the centre were opposed to and trying to stop them taking the donated items.
Bad things happen when people jump in headfirst into conversations without first familiarizing them with the facts. The Karen is not running the centre.

Yo Kev, I take it that you have not heard the follow up message from the lady that you call a Karen?
She said that the ladies running the centre called the police Captain and everything had been later returned, and apologized for losing her calm as she feels very passionate about the donations of DBN North residents going to its intended deserving recipients.

The municipality had not followed proper procedure, does that surprise you?

So will we get his expert analysis after his visit to Pinetown?

We may even get lucky and catch a snippet of him shaking @ToxicBunny's hand...
