Shortly before the Minister of Police visited OR Tambo International Airport on Monday to discuss security at the facility, another crime took place.
A truck carrying precious cargo was hijacked ahead of Police Minister Fikile Mbalula’s visit.
The truck was hijacked outside a gate at the airport called “Super South” after having left an area where goods such as currency are kept, the airport’s general manager Bongiwe Pityi told reporters during Mbalula’s visit.
Airport officials, police, and Ekurhuleni metro police found the truck abandoned, and the hijackers had fled.
Although it was not immediately clear what was in the truck, Pityi said they were certain it was carrying high-value goods.
