The victim was travelling home (Wilgeheuwel) from OR Tambo International airport when he was followed.

Social Media users are urging that citizens are more aware of their surroundings and cases like this could be avoided.
Driver should ve been more alert, i mean 3 left turns and 2 right turns before you get home should get you worried.

This incident comes 3 weeks after NewsLiteSA previously reported on the same method of theft.
It’s alleged that some staff working at certain airports are giving tip-offs to criminals, this is unconfirmed however those on social media are speculating these thoughts.
This will never stop until they clean out all the corrupt people working in the airport. Only way these thugs get info is from inside the airport.

Until our @HomeAffairsSA @SAPoliceService at.OR Tambo is run like Australia one we will continue to witness this thuggish behavior. Cleaners, Security officers, SAPS, and Home affairs officials are crooks there & need to be rotated timeously.
