Reading Time: < 1 minute

Gauteng police are searching for suspects who hijacked an official vehicle assigned to MEC of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation Faith Mazibuko on Saturday.

This comes just a week after Tshwane mayor Solly Msimanga was hijacked in Midrand.

Mazibuko was in a meeting in Johannesburg when her security official was overpowered by three armed men, who took the vehicle.

Police spokesperson Mavela Masondo says the suspects drove off with the official and dropped him in Bosmont, west of the CBD.

They then made off in the vehicle, a green Mercedes Benz.

“The suspects then drove off with the officer until they dropped him off at Bosmont which is near Sophiatown. We have since launched a manhunt for the suspects and a lookout for a green Mercedes Benz,” says Masondo.
