Bongani Gumede, best known for his role on Scandal!, is reportedly taking Pick n Pay to court with a R1 million lawsuit linked to an alleged trolley incident. The story has quickly jumped from entertainment pages to everyday conversations, with South Africans weighing in on safety, responsibility, and what shoppers should reasonably expect from major retailers.
