Man guilty of opening false hijacking case

* Stefan Mubiru has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for opening a false case of kidnapping and car hijacking in March this year. He was found guilty of perjury in the Johannesburg Regional Court this week. Police spokesperson Captain Xoli Mbele said Mubiru had later informed the investigating officer working on the case that he had opened the false case because he was scared that he was going to lose his car after he had lent it to a friend who failed to return it on the same day as agreed.
