When the bakkie driver saw the woman in her short, tight dress he stopped, hoping for some roadside punani.
But instead of having fun he found himself staring into the barrel of a gun.
The magosha turned out to be a member of a hijacking syndicate.
Luckily for him, he was able to point her out to cops when officers brought her to the station and her victim was already there, opening a case.
Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Mack Mngomezulu said the man told cops he had stopped to pick up the magosha on Main Street, near Rynsoord in Benoni, yesterday at about 11.30am.
He said three men jumped onto the back of his bakkie and the woman got in the front seat.
“The victim was ordered to drive off. A short distance further on, two of the men produced firearms and told him to stop.
“They took him into the bush and tied up his hands with wire.”
He said the suspects took his two cellphones, wallet, cards, leather jacket, shoes and belt.
“They demanded his pin number for the bank card but he told them it was a work card and that he didn’t have the pin.
“The thugs left the victim in the bush and drove off in his bakkie,” said Mngomezulu.
He said cops patrolling the area saw a bakkie without number plates and licence disk parked off the road.
“They stopped and found the woman behind the steering-wheel. She couldn’t produce a driver’s licence or an ID book and police took her to the cop shop for further questioning.”
Benoni police then arrested the woman.
Mngomezulu said cops are investigating a case of hijacking and robbery. The three other suspects are still on the run.
Police said more arrests could follow.
