A tragic hijacking took place near the train station in Umlazi H-Section. Four suspects, one armed with a firearm, approached a driver.
Sadly, the driver was shot and lost his life at the scene.
The suspects fled in the victim’s vehicle towards the Tafel Kop area.
Thanks to the quick response of our Highway Patrol South and Umlazi Patrol teams, the vehicle was recovered shortly afterward.
It has been towed to Bhekithemba SAPS for safe keeping and further investigation.
We urge all drivers to remain vigilant and cautious. If you witness suspicious activity or see a driver in distress, please assist where it’s safe to do so and report immediately to the authorities.
Let’s work together to stay safe on our roads….
