Former hijacker “Bra T” Lifts the veil on hijackings

[@sthecliff9088]

next time interview him in his native language and include subtitles, you might get more from the man.

[@andrewmohlala3262]

For he explained everything clearly

[@ksg5375]

I see some comments here ...some people think that Bra T is one of the guys who sells cars.....Nope he does'nt....You cannot steal a +R600k Ford Ranger & sell it for R8000....... Bra T & his 3 friends are only doing the dirty part of the job...of which is hijacking the car & bringing it to those people who want the car....That is step 1. Step 2...The people that pay Bra T are the ones who're goin to sell the car to it's new customer....... My point here is that, Bra T is not the Seller...he's just a worker who's doing dirty work for his bosses who don wanna do the dirty work. The SELLERS of the hijacked car are the people that pay Bra T the money after he's had a successful hijack.......

Tactical self-defense classes, tactical firearm training, pepper spray, tactical defense driving and at this point, smash and grab may not be enough, we'll have to train our bodies to be weapons & we may as well make our vehicles bulletproof. Police officers should understand the effects of trauma as their line of work is unpredictable and as public servants that the oath they took should be a code they live by, but clearly anyone can be bought, just depends on how many cokes they want. As a female South African, I've had to learn to look over my shoulder. Whether you are black, white, pink or purple, OKSALAYO, anyone can be a potential threat, especially the men in this country. I'll look out for my own safety and that of my community. As for justice and law enforcement, those are clearly just words that cannot even hold water.

I've heard that at the border gates police know before hand that a stolen car is coming. Apparently one of those cops would know about it & will make sure the said car is stopped by him/her so that it could be permitted to cross the border. Apparently police have got connections with amagintsa.

[@m3mn0nYT]

The man appears naive about the extent of the horror of the nature of the work he's doing. But I'm glad he clarified the truth about this kind of criminal activity, it is not poverty but materialism (under the cruelty of capitalism) that propels men to pursue this kind of deplorable work - it's about shortcuts to wealth, what other people devote hours of honest work and tremendous self-sacrifice to gain. Police need to go after the organisations putting out these orders, going after men like this isnt going to curb these crimes by any significant margin.

[@mmakomanaprincesskgoadi641]

I don't think you should conclude the reasons why they hijack for all of them. Everyone's story is unique. His was about peer pressure, and material things. Others will tell you they doing it to feed their families hence poverty..others it'll be as a result of alcohol and drug abuse, basically to feed their addiction..

[@m3mn0nYT]

@@mmakomanaprincesskgoadi641 If you read carefully between the lines of your response, you're actually telling the same story in each case with one consistent theme of desperation. All the reasons you list actually boil down to one reason, as I point to above: namely the strains posed on the poor and lower classes by capitalism and the demands of "successful" living - most especially material or financial - it imposes on the urbanized poor. It's an entirely different reality for the rural poor, because the demands of a content life are meager, simple. Capitalism is hierarchical in nature and, therefore, the poor will always be a part of it and are an inescapable reality. The only way to resolve it is to destroy the entire system The point I wished to make clear, and perhaps could have expressed better is that poverty's assault on human beings is beyond financial, it extends to the moral constitution and outlook: "alcohol and drug abuse", "peer pressure" to indulge in obscenities and materialism are precisely because there is a fracturing in people's sense of right and wrong.

[@ongilemakhonco4576]
