When people say there's never a dull moment in South Africa, you must believe them because it's true in more ways than one.

A video shared on social media showed two men stopping Cape Town traffic to help a family of ducks cross the road.

It looked like the real-life version of that nursery rhyme: "Mother duck said, 'Quack, quack, quack', and all her five little ducks came back."

The post was shared on Instagram with the caption:  "Padel at 6 pm, saving geese at 5 pm."
