The suspect returned and allegedly pointed a firearm, demanding the keys to the vehicle, cellphones and a wallet from the two men.

The 34-year-old allegedly shot at the unknown suspect, fatally wounding him in his chest.

It was later established that the suspect’s firearm was a replica gun.

Absolute idiot. Darwin award.

Police have warned motorists not to stop on the freeway, especially between the Uitenhage and Kempston Road turn-offs.

“Should it be absolutely necessary to stall on that stretch of freeway due to mechanical problems, drivers are advised to abandon their vehicle and walk away while waiting for roadside assistance.

“This is a hotspot for robberies and vehicle hijackings,” Naidu said.

Which means you should be patrolling it frequently, slackers.
