| American couple injured after hijacking in South Africa |
| 2017-01-19 |
| Yesterday at about 12:00 a visiting USA couple, both in their sixties, was hijacked between Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage. They stopped next to the road to take photographs when they were overpowered by two unknown males and forced to drive to a bushy area near Motherwell Township. They were robbed of personal belongings and left tied in the bushes. A local farmer noticed the abandoned vehicle and alerted police. SAPS Air Support was summoned and the couple was found with slight injuries. Several leads are being followed. The Provincial Commissioner of the Eastern Cape applauded the swift response of all involved in the search for the couple and applauded the farmer for his alertness and reporting his suspicions to the SAPS. |

| #3 They made it 60 years, and no smarter than that. Another successful example of America's protected citizenry. |

| #1 Just up ahead Mildred. According to the map, this is the scenic pull off. Park there by the bushes. |
