BRITS POS – BRITS - South Africa is witnessing a concerning surge in hijackings targeting ride-hailing drivers and food and parcel delivery services.
Criminal syndicates are increasingly using these sectors as easy targets, driven by a boom in e-commerce and the high demand for fast deliveries.
What’s more disturbing is that many of these hijackings are premeditated, with criminals luring their victims by ordering rides or deliveries only to ambush them when they arrive.
