The case of four men accused of placing spikes on the road with the aim of robbing motorists has been postponed to 1 October 2021 in the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo. The case was postponed on Friday because the case recording machine was out of order.

Police say the accused are undocumented foreign nationals who had placed spikes at some points on the N1 and R101 roads – forcing motorists to stop after their car’s tyres burst.

The National Prosecuting Authority’s Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi says the accused are facing charges of robbery, being in the country illegally as well as, possession of fire-arms and ammunition.

“The bail of four men who were placing the spikes at N1 and R101 roads could not proceed in Mokopane magistrate’s court because the recording machine was not working. The suspects are remanded in custody until one October 2021 for bail proceedings,” says Malabi-Dzhangi .
