In late February, and also in broad daylight, a robbery went down outside a Johannesburg restaurant. I’m not sure how you’re supposed to avoid this type of crime.
A massive cache of weapons was found when a contractor went in to do renovations on a Jozi building. Enough here to cause serious damage.
Another day, another video of a terrible crime on our streets carried out in broad daylight. This time it’s a grandmother in a suburb of Randburg.
Is it ever going to get better? Crime is part of our daily existence in South Africa, it seems. Now driving out of the front gates of our own homes is apparently dangerous as well.
Yesterday a Mercedes was driven face-first into Johannesburg’s Malibongwe Drive. The driver also managed to take a BMW from a nearby dealership down the embankment with her! In a radio interview she said that while visiting the dealership to trade in her car, her “high heel got stuck while in reverse”. The disastrous result can be seen after the jump.
