A video and photos of two alleged thieves in deep sleep have been making the rounds on social media, with many people expressing mixed reactions to them.

“This muthi is called “Nyangomba” in my culture, even when doors are open the thieves can’t find way to go out, until they fall asleep. This muthi can make a thug to unmove when gets inside your yard,” a South African Twitter user captioned one of the viral videos.

The video shows the old lady’s neighbors gathering to catch a glimpse of the sleeping thieves. She is seen in the footage narrating to her neighbours how the alleged burglars broke into her house to make away with her properties.
