According to eyewitnesses, the teacher was confronted by two hijackers, Teboho "Chiloki" Matseke from Vosloorus and Zakhele wabantu. However, the teacher refused to back down and used his military training to overpower Matseke, shooting him dead with his own firearm.
Matseke was found with a 9mm firearm at the scene. Zakhele wabantu fled the scene but left his illegal firearm behind.
The community helped identify Zakhele wabantu, who is still at large. An investigation is ongoing to apprehend the second suspect and link him to any other hijackings in the area.
The teacher's bravery likely prevented further harm and potentially solved a string of hijackings in the area. The incident highlights the importance of community involvement in crime prevention and the impact one person can have in standing up against criminal activity.
The teacher's identity has not been released, but his actions have earned him widespread praise from the community and authorities alike.
