In the past two weeks, two Tzaneen petrol stations were robbed. The same modus operandi was used in both cases; a group of men came in wearing balaclavas, bombed the safe and ran off with an undisclosed amount of money. A cash-in-transit heist also took place on February 2, at Khujwana Village outside Tzaneen.
