KwaZulu Natal (Gauteng): One of the residents of Gauteng registered a case where his Mercedes Benz E200 was hijacked in Umhlanga Rocks in Kwazulu Natal and was found burning in Tea Estate – Inanda a short while ago.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) received the call of a vehicle on fire at approx on Wednesday evening. Reaction Officers and paramedics arrived on the scene and found the vehicle parked alongside a sugar cane plantation and engulfed in flames.
Reaction Officers interviewed a male found on the scene who informed them that he was the driver. He added that he was transporting four (4) boxes for his employer and stopped on Zenith Drive – Umhlanga to top the car with coolant when he realised the vehicle was overheating.
At that stage, he was accosted by two (2) gunmen who forced him into the rear seat at gunpoint and drove to Inanda – KZN. A second group of suspects followed him in a White Toyota (model unconfirmed).
When they arrived at Tea Estate, the driver was let out of the vehicle. The four (4) boxes were loaded into the suspect’s light motor vehicle. The perpetrators then set the victim’s Mercedes Benz alight and fled. It could not be confirmed if an accelerant was used.
According to the victim/driver, the contents of the boxes were not disclosed to him. However, residents are saying that something is fishy as it is difficult to digest something like this.
“Something fishy, first a Mercedes being overheated. Secondly, the driver is transporting something he doesn’t know; lastly, no harm to the driver; check cameras on the spot where the car was taken from the driver,” said one of the local residents of Gauteng.
“SA is totally out of control. This is what happens when people and parties who don’t have the integrity, honesty, capability or intelligence to run a country are in charge. Should all be in jail, said one of the other users.
