Losing one's valuables due to no longer being able to afford them is a painful and humbling experience that many would be embarrassed to share publicly.

One South African woman, Potsiso WaMologadi M (@potso_wabokarabo), went on TikTok to share her beautiful Mazda car being collected by a tow truck after struggling to keep up with paying for it.

"You were a bad financial decision, but I loved you, still do. I love you ❤️," Potsiso captioned the sad post.

Having a vehicle repossessed in South Africa

Having your vehicle repossessed is the worst-case scenario for both you and your lender, according to DMV.org. Put, vehicle repossession means your lender —whether a bank, credit union or dealership— takes back your vehicle because you've failed to make the monthly payments.

Living in an essentially materialistic world, success is often measured by the fancy and expensive things we own. Letting go of her prized possession for all to see couldn't have been easy for Potsiso.

Mzansi responds with words of encouragement and support

Although a very bitter moment for Potsiso, many netizens responded with supportive comments, commending her for boldly letting go of the financial burden instead of forcing matters to avoid the shame of having a car repossessed.
