A tow truck driver who gave chase when he saw the suspicious vehicles flee the scene was shot and killed on William Nicol Road when the suspects allegedly opened fire. Muridili said the group of about 12 suspects, who opened fire on the G4S vehicle with pistols and rifles, were driving in four different cars: a black BMW, a black Mercedes- Benz, a white Ford Ranger and a white Audi Q5.“The suspects allegedly used explosives to bomb the armoured vehicle and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.”

Bathong, what was he thinking acting like a hero when he wasn't even as the police? Another evidence that stupidity can be fatal. Condolences to the family 🤷
It's his upbringing that made him to spring into action. His parents, I'm certain, never encouraged him to turn a blind eye when something wrong is being done unlike many of us who ' mind my own business'. It's a pity he died for a good deed. MHSRIEP. I Salute u Trucker ✋
This country needs your Nigerian SARS unit type, the sniper team that won't wear uniform, that will drive in unmarked cars. For criminals to stop traffic in broad daylight, bomb cash van, speed off is an insult to SAPoliceService , to GovernmentZA . Please catch them, kill them
Hell no dis guy risked his life for nothing RIP😥😩
Out of control crime, what now? When will law take a huge stand? When law breaking be punishment. Hear us PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa CyrilFoundation our beautiful country needs income from investors across many industries. Watch over your people and families. actnow

Your article is very poor sowetan,you made no mention that there are indications that the money was handed to the thugs before the truck was bombed & it seems like the G4S security was involved,usual bombings like this leaves monies splattered around but in this case it wasnt
Eish
RIP to the man trid to save the insured money
Bo staring abo patele
Minister Cele Mbeki, why is there no task force hunting down these killers? Sir you are Failing the S.African public by allowing crime to escalate and doing little or nothing to stem tide. HOW ARE WE TO FEEL SAFE OR TRUST A FORCE WHO TOOK UP AN OATH TO SERVE AND PROTECT?
😨
May his soul Rest In Peace. The best thing is to keep watching the getaway car & call for back-up instead of chasing, it’s very risky chasing armed criminals alone!
Niphaphelani
Oh no😟 May his soul RIP. We've been thinking the general public doesn't care cause many just take videos and it's so heartbreaking when one of the few who cares ends up paying the ultimate price💔💔💔
What was he thinking!?
