newsTimesLIVE reports that two Limpopo traffic officers were robbed on Friday afternoon after pulling over a car for speeding.  

Police spokesman Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said the officers, who were conducting speed trap duties along the Slaagboom road outside Groblersdal, stopped a grey VW Polo TSI without number plates with five occupants for exceeding the speed limit.  “While they were busy issuing the driver with a written notice, three passengers alighted, two of them armed with rifles and the other one with a pistol.  They robbed both the officers and took two cellphones, a firearm, and the equipment before they fled the scene.  The suspects are unknown and no arrest has been made and the investigation is continuing,” Ngoepe indicated.  He added that a multi-disciplinary task team had been established to hunt down the suspects.
