The video of the child has gone viral on social media. 

RTMC spokesperson Simon Zwane says the adults, who also feature in the video, should know better than allowing a child to drive a vehicle.  

“We think it’s highly irresponsible conduct for any parents to give such a young child a car to drive around, particularly this time of the year when there is a high rate of accidents involving pedestrians. 

“We are following up on the leads and we have sent our officers to go and investigate this matter and meet the family.”
