Two men stole a hearse with a corpse in it and hopped from shebeen to shebeen in Soweto on a drinking spree at the weekend.
They were caught after the vehicle ran out of petrol in the early hours of yesterday morning. They got stuck in Freedom Park informal settlement, near Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, at about 3am.
The already drunk men went into a shebeen where they met three women. They asked the women to help push the car to the nearest petrol station.
They told the women the corpse in the coffin belonged to a relative and that they were on their way to bury it at Avalon Cemetery.

Authorities are warning taxi drivers of hefty fines if they are caught without socks, shoes and the other proper attire prescribed by a licensing board, an official said Monday.
