The duo gained entry to the home and started their rampage by attacking and assaulting a man (age unknown) before fleeing with his two cellphones.

“She then heard a loud noise and noticed that the door was being broken down by the two men,” he says.

Sibuyi says one of the men put a firearm against the woman’s head.

“He demanded money and a cellphone but she said she didn’t have any of these.

“She screamed and the men threatened to kill her if she did not keep quiet.
