In a post on the SPCA Roodepoort/ Krugersdorp Facebook page they explained that the truck broke down near Cradlestone Mall and had already been standing in the sun for two hours by the time their inspectors reached the truck. By then the pigs were panting from the heat.
The Mogale City Fire Department assisted by cooling off the pigs with water while the truck was being repaired.

“Our inspectors followed the truck to its destination to ensure there were no further problems along the way,” read the post.
They also asked that the public support their inspectors with donations.
“Without your donations we would not be able to help all the animal in need of assistance.”
