It's just not hijacking and accidents that motorists are fearful of; road rage has become a major threat.
Aggressive, fast and reckless driving are also on the increase. This is found particularly in urban areas where traffic congestion and urgency are contributing factors. Bruised and stitched, the Sithole brothers were victims of road rage earlier in March. 43 year old Mondli Sithole was the driver at the time.
Nathi Sithole was not safe either. “When we got to the house, my brother ran into my house, but they got into the house. I thought because I was not the driver, I was not part of this. But I was assaulted and robbed. My 78-year-old mother and my brother’s wife were beaten up and robbed too.”
