A South African truck driver has claimed that he was attacked and forced to resign after being mistaken for a foreign national while working in the Free State.

According to the driver, he was operating a KwaZulu-Natal-registered truck when he was confronted and questioned about his nationality.

He said he presented his South African identity document, but alleged that the situation escalated despite this.

The driver has since shared his account on social media, saying he wanted to raise awareness about the incident.

The allegations have not been independently verified, and the identities of those allegedly involved have not been confirmed.

Authorities have also not yet commented on the claims.

The incident has sparked discussion on social media about xenophobia, discrimination, and the treatment of truck drivers, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations.
