The victim was travelling on the N12 from Witbank towards Springs in his Toyota Fortuner.
“He was stopped by a white VW Golf and a white VW Polo and approached by one man who was dressed in full EMPD uniform.
“The officer then asked for his driver’s licence, which he handed to him,” explained Capt Johannes Ramphora, communications officer of Springs SAPS.
