If the police stop taking bribes and start protecting the public on motorways, then we can see change. Problem is that lots of tourists use the M2 from the airport and beyond, and it wont reflect positively on our country if such problems take place. the govt has a big job of getting people back into work, otherwise this problem is not only going to get uncontrollable, but would be catastrophic for the economy if the M2 becomes a dead motorway Report Abuse
Shredder. Not at all. I have heard of several such incidents.

Lucky me I am employed, some of my friend are sitting home with Diploma, Degrees even Honours ask what the government is doing. The first thing you can hear from EXPERIENCE. I am condoning such act but someone must take full of responsibility. Install camera's on highway, full police patrol on highway.
Thats are the results of unemployment, I honour these guys for attacking motorists. If you are working, and earning that sum don't underesteemate others. Youth is hungry for success, but unfortunately because they don't have money, and they cannot have a word in our parliament or media. Crime will go on, and i praise youth to commit crime, so that everyone understand what the youth wants. All they want is education, not being bribed with stupid co-operative societies/projects. They want qualifications, they want diplomas, they want certificates, not BEE because it only target they wealthy people. Report Abuse

Western Cape police say criminals are targeting motorists on the N2 highway and it's getting out of hand
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crime has always been out of hand in this country - maybe the western cape police needs to be reminded about the blue light and criminals dressing up in police uniforms, then they will realize that their statement is misleading. In general, law enforcement in South Africa is a total failure. They spent huge sums of money towards entertainment events and luxury automotive products, when they should be investing in the country's cctv grid and eradicating cabriolets(toilets). Report Abuse
