Two victims who had their tyres spiked recall how a WhatsApp group started by security role players saved their lives.

Two more spiking incidents took place on the N4 near Brits recently, but in both cases, a task team could assist the victims before robbers could get to them, all thanks to WhatsApp groups created especially for this purpose.

“There was, what seemed to be a rope in the road, but I couldn’t swerve. And then I felt there was something wrong with my wheel. I heard about the group two months ago and joined it because we travel on this highway every Friday. “We saw a strip on the road but could not swerve. I told my husband we must just keep on driving, that is what security structures advise. We had joined the group earlier and wondered if it would help, seeing that it was for the Bakwena N4.
