Victims saw their stone throwing attacker

By Tando Mfengwana

Two men who narrowly escaped injury when their car was stoned on the N2 highway on Sunday say that they saw their attacker.

Owner of the Societi Bistro in the V&A Waterfront, Peter Weetman and his partner Gerhard Müller say they saw their attacker leaning on a bollard on a narrowing stretch of a highway near the airport, where traffic has to slow down to 80 km/h, before he ran off into an informal settlement at the side of the road.

They were attacked when driving back to Cape Town from a family gathering in Somerset West at around 3pm. The stone hit and shattered one window of the car; no one was injured during the incident. This is the first reported incident of stone throwing on the N2 highway since July 18.
