JOHANNESBURG - Regardless of whether you're popping out to the shop for a quick essentials run, or if you're on your way to work and back on a regular basis during the national lockdown, you are warned to be vigilant.

2) If you think that you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station or petrol station. Don't go home.
