We have become so used to it that even though a lot of us live abroad we still don’t stop and realise that it’s pretty unique to South Africa.
A big thank you goes out to Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues for attempting the export of this unique service in South Africa totally reliant on donations.
It’s better if we quote the description directly as they posted it with the video.
For those who are not from South Africa, “car guarding” is a widely practised profession. Car guards are the self-proclaimed super heroes of the street, claiming to watch your car whilst you are away, or even help you park it. You are expected to tip, and heaven help you if you don’t. We decided to take to the streets of San Diego and see how people reacted to experiencing car guards for the very first time.
