Taxi driver overpowered by clients
A driver took his clients to Muldersdrift where they hijacked his car.
A 34-year-old man alleged that he received a request on his taxi service app on 30 October at about 4pm to collect passengers and take them to Muldersdrift to pick up an engine block.
He picked up the three men in his silver Toyota and drove them to Muldersdrift. When they arrived at their destination the men asked him not to leave and told him that they would be right back.
When they returned one of them choked the driver with a chain and took his phone and money. They pulled him out of the car and drove off.
