The driver had bought the vehicle, with four wheels, only a few months ago and was confronted by its previous owner after the footage surfaced online, Times Live reported.
The former owner said the car was still registered in his name because the new owner had not yet changed the documentation.
‘I went and confronted him myself. I said, “No, my friend, that car is still in my name and you’re trouble like this.”,’ the previous owner said.
‘He said he didn’t have a choice. He had to do it. He knows it wasn’t the right thing to do and he was wrong.’

The driver reportedly explained there were several problems with the car, apparently forcing him to resort to using a trolley instead of a wheel.
‘He said something about a bearing which broke. They put in a new bearing and then one also broke. Then they had no other choice but to do that. That’s the story he told me.’
The driver assured the previous owner the car was being fixed at his house, in Delft, a suburb of Cape Town, adding that he had not yet been approached by police over the video.
