Unfortunately, truck drivers are helpless in this situation as they cannot confront would-be criminals and leave the vehicle unattended.

The safety of truck drivers and their cargo needs urgent attention.

"I hate the South African definition of democracy. Is this democracy, we fought for? Lawlessness = South African Democracy."

Terrence Tshiafhula said:

"I think this time containers will be best for transportation as goods will be saved and locked."

Lesley Malies said:

"Guys I talked to a few old truckers, they say the road is not interesting and safe anymore like those years, now I see what they mean, our country."

Muzi Mbane said:

"People are not even afraid to steal anymore because they know they won't be punished for it."
