  • Johannesburg - A Soweto man was shot dead while driving out of his house to work in an apparent hijacking early on Tuesday morning, Gauteng police said.

    The man - believed to be in his 30s - was allegedly approached by four armed men outside his house in Zone 4, Meadowlands at about 04:00, said Captain Julia Claassen.

    "One of the men fired a shot and killed him. They then drove off in his white Toyota Stallion."

    The men were still at large and police were searching for the vehicle, said Claassen.

    She urged anyone with information about the crime or whereabouts of the vehicle with registration number BTW 224 GP, to call Crime Stop on 08600-10111.
