WATCH: Motorist robbed, beaten in Joburg trafficIt might have been a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time when a Johannesburg motorist was robbed in peak time traffic. Just shoot the bastards, kill them and drive off. Last two weeks it was in KZN grabbing a woman's expensive hair, now back to Jozi! This has become everyday routine in this country! South Africa is one big crime scene! Mr Cele, we need to invest in a helicopter or two that will always be hovering above 'sweet spots' for these criminals...we need to move with times. Vans and horses cant help anymore. Stop with the silence, we need decisive actions. We paying tax and dont mind doing it.
