Four police cars stopped but failed to help a foreign reporter who was
robbed in central Johannesburg over the weekend.
Colombian journalist Carlos Sanchez and his local friend William Collinson were allegedly hijacked on Sunday night while en route to the airport.
They say four patrol cars stopped at the scene but officers claimed they had somewhere else to go. Collinson said the robbers surprised them at a robot, smashed their car window and dragged them out of the vehicle.

And:
The gang sped off, leaving Collinson and Sanchez to wave down police
cars in downtown Johannesburg. But they said no matter what they tried they
could not get officers to help them.
This is South Africa where cops are too busy doing their own thing to be bothered with trivial things like helping victims of crime.
And who cares if the Columbian journo tells his story to the world?
