Their appearance in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court comes after metro police recovered a hijacked vehicle at the Houghton property once owned by Nelson Mandela. 


The car was reportedly hijacked today along Louis Botha Avenue in Oaklands.


It’s alleged that a woman renting the property is among the initial four arrests.


"All five suspects will be facing charges of possession of a hijacked motor vehicle and possession of an unlicensed firearm,” said JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla.


"It is with relief that we can confirm that the victim of the hijacking is safe and unharmed," he added.
