Chetty too had not seen the car he wanted to buy except the WhatsApp photos sent to him by his neighbour.

Approached for comment, Megnath sent Consumer Line a protection order he served on Chetty, adding that Sowetan was among the people barred from harassing him.

" Only because of the pressure that Chetty brought to me I paid him R14,000 and although I intended to refund him the entire purchase price, I was unable to do so as I am not gainfully employed as a motor vehicle salesperson at the moment," his affidavit read. Megnath said"due to the supervening lockdown it has rendered any performance by him impossible in terms of the contract with Chetty and am in accordance excused to perform in terms of the law and would have a claim against Chetty for the return of the R14,000 which I paid him."

POLL | Do you support the sale of booze under lockdown level 3?The sale of alcohol will be allowed from June 1. Of course YES... I'm still wondering why it was banned during lockdown LEVEL 5 and 4. I still don't understand reasons. The same thing applies with cigarettes! Socially alcohol is bad. But if it is not covid-19 related then it should be u banned. I don't support it at all , people behave like animals when they drunk, GBV will shoot straight up to 90%
