"So, because the SAPS are aware of what's happening on the N4, why is nothing being done about it?"
@Calvinfrance said:
"There was an arrest in the past 72hrs. One suspect. I guess maybe it's a syndicate or a copied trend spilling to other sections."

"So unimpressed ngoba I thought they were arrested."

"Glad you are safe, there have been similar reported incidents in the area in recent weeks. It is the work of criminals."
