Carjacking victim in South Africa rescued with a tweet.

This banditry, which spares neither countryside nor city, much less roads, takes many forms carjacking, armed robbery and hold up of motorists.

One recent story describes how Twitter was used to help rescue the victim of a carjacking in South Africa, another how a tweet helped a man find a kidney donor.

Thus, in addition to being targeted because of their affiliation with the Organization, United Nations personnel face the same rising levels of street crime, home invasion and carjacking as the general public.
