Provincial police spokesperson Thabo Covane says during a patrol officers spotted the body of a man lying on the side of the road.
Paramedics were summoned to the scene, where they declared the victim dead upon their arrival.
The type of injuries suffered by the deceased raised serious suspicion that he might have been run over by a vehicle.
