The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, cautions the public against hitchhiking and giving lifts to hitchhikers, as this could lead to robbery, thus putting the lives of those involved in the practice at risk.
In another incident that occurred outside Seshego on Friday, 20 October, two victims between the ages of 24 and 25 respectively were hitchhiking a lift from Westernburg to Steilop and Lephalale, Waterberg District in a silver Tazz Conquest motor vehicle. The driver turned his motor vehicle in the wrong direction, produced a firearm, and robbed both victims of their belongings: their cellphones, licenses, bank cards, and all other valuable items amounting to R7000-00.
Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe urged members of the public to stay away from hitch-hiking or offering lifts to people that they do not know. She advises people who knock off from work very late to make use of public transportation, clubs or staff transport instead of hitchhiking in order to reduce and prevent these incidents.
