Ex Bafana star arrested for truck hijack

A former Bafana Bafana and Jomo Cosmos player is among a group of 10 men arrested on Wednesday for allegedly attempting to hijack a truck carrying cigarettes at Main Reef Road in Witfield.

According to News24 :"The investigating team of the province and crime intelligence were following information of people who planned to hijack a cigarette truck," said spokesperson Lieutenant Kay Makhubela.

"They made contact with those alleged 10 suspects and arrested them before they could hijack the truck. Among them two were found wearing full Johannesburg Metro Police Department uniforms and one of the 10 is also a former PSL and Bafana Bafana player."

The player's name was not revealed and they are expected to appear in the Boksburg Magistrate's Court on Friday.
