South Africans form human chain during Johannesburg flash floods

A viral video showing South Africans forming a human chain during the recent floods is doing the rounds on social media.

Flash flood chain

There is a lot to be said about our beautiful country. Sure, we have our problems, but this video for me sums up what being a South African is all about.


The video was originally posted by Leon Kruyshaar and shows a group of South Africans standing together to help each other during this week's flash floods in Johannesburg.

This is such a moving example of unconditional love and kindness. This video has been a shared over and over again, and with every share I hope it reminds us of what we are capable of when we work together. 


This is my South Africa!
