Just been reading a story from the Argus about the motorists who helped foil a bijkejacking in Kayamandi. Jaapie Haarmse was set upon by three "youths" as he headed home. At least three cars stopped at the scene. and Conrad and Sandy Koen gave him and his bike a lift home.
Will post a link when I find one.

I would love a heading like this...'Bike muggers driven over and killed when running off with a bike...' or something like that....
Awesome about the people helping others!

"Harmse did not lay charges with the police."
And will probably complain when the police do nothing.

Yeah, stupid move! I want there to be patrols along that stretch, but unless there is enough charges laid, the police will do nothing.
Well done passing motorists for stopping!
