KZN police mum on rock-throwing stats
11 January 2018
Durban – KwaZulu-Natal police are unable to release the number of highway rock-throwing incidents, saying that "they amount to crime statistics which are the prerogative of only the Minister of Police to release".
There have been several rock-throwing incidents along the province's highways since December last year, especially the N2, from Durban to the north of the province.
Two people died along the N2 highway in Umhlali, north of Durban, when a large rock was allegedly thrown from an overhead bridge onto their car at the end of last month.
A woman and her seven-year-old brother died during the incident, police confirmed.
