BARS, clubs, and taverns pose a risk in the spreading of Covid-19 as the country experiences its second wave of infections.
But people in Tshwane seem to not care about the risks, dangers, and adhering to Covid-19 regulations.
Videos of a crowd of people having a street bash have been circulating on Social Media.
The people were apparently on a convoy to an annual party in Mamelodi called Dinho all while party.
In the videos the people are seen drinking, dancing, and having the time of their lives on R-80 Mabopane Highway and a tunnel in Daspoort.
In one of the videos, the person taking the video is heard saying that the people have blocked the highway with their cars while partying.
“Ramaphosa is going to close you know, people have blocked the highway and they are dancing. No! Ramaphosa close the country my friend. What is going on?” he is heard saying.
The second video is a crowd of people who seemed to be partying in the tunnel.
In the video, they can be heard singing saying, “We want to party,”
They blocked their cars, turned the music up, and danced to Amapiano songs with bottles of booze on their hands.
Many people had a lot to say about the video on Social Media.

Kagiso wrote: “I am also suffocating. Let alone the corona. What about carbon monoxide that fills the whole tunnel? Do they understand that they could die from carbon monoxide especially if the ventilation is poor?”

Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula said he's aware of videos showing the Dinho convoy along the R80 Mabopane Highway into the Daspoort tunnel speaking at Festive Season Road Safety Campaign on Tuesday.
"This conduct is unacceptable, and our law enforcement authorities will show no mercy towards people who turn our roads into party spots."
