Hijackers put between rock and hard place

[schumi]

Durban – For hours the driver in a silver Isuzu double-cab attempted to jump the border.

Driving without the lights on, the man tried to find a spot in the fence along the border with Mozambique to slip across.

Each time his attempt was thwarted as car-tracking vehicles and SA National Defence Force (SANDF) personnel closed in on the hijacked car.

Hours earlier the Verulam-registered double-cab had been hijacked in Gauteng, and the race was on for the criminal syndicate to make it to Mozambique.

Eventually at 4am on November 27 the driver got desperate. He floored the accelerator and aimed the vehicle at the cattle fence that divides the border, but never made it.

The other way of crossing was to find a weak spot in the fence and drive straight through. Often the soldiers would get there too late, and on some occasions the hijackers would stand on the other side of the border and taunt them.

“They would flash their penises at them, or start braaiing,” says Wolmarans.

Besides pleas to their commanding officers to be allowed to shoot at them, the soldiers could do nothing.

:wtf:

the cattle fence that divides the border,

Well if the border was something more tangible than a fence full of holes then people casually driving across it wouldn't be such a big issue.

Maybe we could borrow Trump & his famed wall building skills? Or maybe the Israelis or even someone from the old soviet crew...they built decent borders.

“They would flash their penises at them, [highlight]or start braaiing[/highlight],” says Wolmarans.

Presumably the braai would be setup and fired up by the hijacker's accomplice that was already on the other side of the border (cellphone waver), otherwise the hijacker would have to be coming across the border balls out dick in hand and ready for anything (except a bunch of rocks).
