Elna McIntosh commented on Facebook: “This mess was left on the corner of William Nicol Drive and Republic Road – Two days in a row of Bavaria marketing. Not only did it cause chaos in the peak hour traffic, but littering and leaving this mess behind. Very poor marketing strategy Bavaria. Come back and clean up your mess.
The Sandton Chronicle passed the message on the Bavaria after the photo was shared 14 times on the social network.
