Pictures of two unsuspecting thieves have gone viral on social media, after they fell asleep on the job – quite literally!

In images circulating online, the two men were snapped snoozing outside of the home they had just burgled!

TWEEPS AMUSED BY TIRED THIEVES

According to the tweep who posted the pics, the men had broken into a home in Hammanskraal, Pretoria.

In the pics, the sleeping thieves are surrounded by their stolen goods, including a flatscreen TV, a microwave and sound system. Dressed in hoodies which cover their faces, one of the men is seen still clutching the crowbar he used to burgle the home.

But most intriguing is the image of an elderly woman who is seen in sheer surprise of what awaits her on her doorstep.

Many tweeps have praised the gogo for her prowess in catching the criminals.

@Sivu_Kose: “I want what they are using in that house because it’s stronger than ADT and police Intel”

@ebzaiggymaela.iggy: “This woman for president and then we won’t have looting of KZN relief funds”

@thusomaubane: “We need this lady in government offices to deal with comrades”

MUTI OR MIRACLE?

Many tweeps have claimed that the real reason the thieves were caught sleeping was due to supernatural forces “protecting” the gogo’s home.

@gummiberry: “Muti there is strong cause how is that even possible?”

@sjsiluma: “South Africa NEEDS this security and I have a feeling that gogo at the door can plug Bheki Cele”

@Tebzlightsaber: “Warfare Prayers of fire. Gogo is not a witch, she gets on her knees and speaks to The Most High”

@sirboring_26: “That Queen definitely got the starter pack ancestral defence system in place”

@MoyaneTk: “This muthi is called ‘Nyangomba’ in my culture. Even when doors are open the thieves can’t find a way to go out, until they fall asleep”

Others claim the video was staged and that it was not even taken in South Africa.
