A motorcyclist was robbed of goods and cash in Edenvale, east of Johannesburg, on the corner of Terrace Road and Smith Avenue on Tuesday.
A video that has been circulating on social media shows the biker being cut off by a white vehicle at the intersection.
Speaking to a community newspaper, the biker said he noticed a black BMW following him on the freeway and when he used the off-ramp.
He said the vehicle disappeared when he decided to drive toward Terrance Road because there was more traffic.
