Early Wednesday morning, a truck carrying Ice Tropez beverages was hijacked on the R21 North at the Voortrekker off-ramp. The incident resulted in boxes of the popular drink being strewn across the road.

Fortunately, prompt response from the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) and other law enforcement agencies ensured that the scene was swiftly attended to.

The alarming incident resulted in traffic disruptions, but images and videos show workers diligently clearing the littered roadway.

According to EMPD spokesperson Thabiso Makgato, “The road closure is due to a hijacked truck obstructing traffic flow. Drivers are encouraged to use the Atlas off-ramp as an alternate route to reach the Kempton Park Central Business District (CBD).”

Social media platforms are abuzz with discussions about the Ice Tropez incident.
