The robbers ended up holding to the steering wheel of the
truck, prompting him to stop before robbing him of US$60 and R50.
He was later saved by another truck driver. Matabeleland
South provincial police spokesperson inspector Loveness Mangena confirmed the
incident yesterday.
“Palmer Kativhu was driving from Masvingo to Beitbridge and
picked up two men from Ngundu business centre who claimed were going to
Beitbridge,” Mangena said.
“On reaching 220 km peg road near Joko turn off, one of the
suspects produced a knife and ordered the driver to park in the bush.”
She said Kativhu resisted, leading to the fight. The
suspects escaped after another driver, who had noticed the melee, stopped his
truck. Newsday
