The month of January was a busy and hectic period, for 5 South African Infantry Battalion soldiers, which are currently deployed on KwaZulu-Natal’s border with Mozambique. The soldiers were confronted with a high number of stolen vehicles in their Area of Responsibility.

On 31 January 2023, the South African National Defence Force and South African Police Service joined forces and conducted a Vehicle Control Point (VCP) on the R22 at Mbazwana in Northern KwaZulu-Natal.

The vehicle was recovered on the R22 towards Manguzi, approximately 500 metres from the Vehicle Control Point. The driver of the vehicle evaded arrest, leaving a passenger inside. The passenger was then arrested and taken to Mbazwana SA Police Service. The vehicle was reportedly stolen in Durban, Pinetown. The vehicle’s estimated value is R 900 000,00.
