<p>In the video, the grounded star could be seen helping the driver load his detached bumper into the back of the car while apologising profusely for the damage.</p>

<p>"Look at what they did to his car, guys," Makhadzi said in the video. "Don't worry, I will hold it for you, my brother.</p>

<p>"Sorry, this is all my fault. I am in Congo, it's my first time coming to Congo. I didn't know the love is too much like this. I took an Uber to go to the market to buy some things because I lost my bag by the airport, I'm going to get it later on, but I wanted to buy something to change.</p>
