On video material obtained from nearby businesses, two men can be seen standing close to the white Land Rover bakkie the school’s driver arrived in.

As the driver opens the vehicle’s door, the robbers pounce.

Both were armed, according to the driver.

The robbers then ran off, with CCTV cameras capturing them fleeing.

The school believes that information about the driver’s movements may have been shared with the robbers before his arrival.

The school urges the community to be on the lookout for the robbers.

Anyone with information about the robbers can call Chanelle Demorney or Louwrens Minnie on 072 757 9561 or 083 468 0015.
