A young woman was left traumatised after getting her wig snatched in Johannesburg CBD. 

The young woman took to her TikTok account where she uploaded a video showing herself wearing just a wig cap and what looked like a closure instead of her human hair wig.

Users of social media were shocked as they saw the post and watched the woman showcase her head. In her caption, she explained how she had just started walking down street of Jozi when the hair was snatched.

“My wig gosh ripped off my head in Jozi CBD.”
