AFTERMATH: Attack on car

THE City of Cape Town is pushing through plans for a R180 million security wall along the N2 and around the airport to protect motorists.

The City announced the planne at the weekend following the killing of Nelspruit ouma Karin van Aardt in a smash-and-grab ambush two Fridays ago.

And calls are growing louder after a mother and her 11-year-old son were attacked last Saturday.

What was meant to be a routine trip ended in trauma for the family after they were robbed while stranded on the N2 due to a flat tyre.

Masroefa Kassen told the Daily Voice that she was taking her son to his father for the holidays and used the Airport Approach Road, however a flat tyre forced her to pull over onto Borcherds Quarry Road on 13 December around 1pm.

Then a kaalbors suspect stole Kassen's purse and her son's bag with his clothing.
