Shimza reacts to a robot delivering his food
DJ Shimza recently stirred up social media with a tweet while abroad, “Ordered food on the app, it got delivered by a robot,” accompanied by a video showing a robot delivering his meal.
While the video offered a glimpse into the convenience of high-tech service, it ignited a heated discussion on whether South Africa is ready for such advancements, especially given the country’s high unemployment rate.
Many followers weighed in with mixed reactions:
- “It shouldn’t come to Mzansi, we have a high rate of unemployment,” one user commented, expressing concerns over the potential job losses linked to robot delivery.
- “Which country is this? It’s fascinating but here in South Africa, we don’t need this until we solve the unemployment problem,” added another, echoing similar concerns.
- Some found humor in the idea of robots navigating South African streets, with one user asking, “Does it fly, bump into people on the road, or does it catch a lift? We’re not ready for this!”
- Others voiced apprehension over job security, noting, “Lol, and we just lost how many jobs by using this robot?”
What do you think—are we ready for robot deliveries?
