The incident happened just as they were settling into the weekend on Friday, 12 May.
The father was in his bedroom when a group of thugs stormed in. One pointed a firearm at him.
“Where is your firearm,” they
demanded.
The man said he did not have one. They then brought the other family members into his bedroom and tied them up with shoelaces.
The criminals grabbed the keys to the family’s silver Isuzu bakkie with the registration number HX12ZWGP, two televisions and an amplifier. They then sped off in the bakkie.
