He said the robbers instructed staff and clients to move to the back of the store and that they were speaking Sotho.
“The suspects then told the staff and clients to hand over their cellphones. One client resisted and started fighting with the suspects.
The suspects then ran out of the shop to a Nissan 1 400 bakkie that was parked outside, followed by the client in question. The suspects yelled to others to shoot the client as he was going to give them problems. One shot was fired but no one was injured. The suspects then fled with two Samsung J1As valued at R1 500 each and one Samsung S8 valued at R16 000.”
Video footage was recovered by the Westonaria Police who are investigating the incident.
