There have been several reports of rocks being thrown from bridges onto vehicles in the past month following a deadly incident in which Amina Haffajee and her brother‚ Abdur Raheem‚ were killed when a boulder was thrown from a highway overpass on the N2 near Tongaat.
Anti-crime activists have banded together to patrol areas in which incidents had been reported. However no arrests have been made. They plan to now host an awareness campaign for communities to unite against rock throwing.
Abantu Bbahlangene Against Crime‚ led by the EThekwini Central Cluster community policing forum‚ will spread the message in a convoy with police on Saturday.
"This is a plea to all citizens of our community to unite and show true solidarity against this atrocious scourge that has befallen our society‚ causing panic and resulting in the loss of innocent lives‚" states the invitation that is being circulated on social media.
