The one man told me he had a knife and would kill me if I did not leave them alone. I threatened to call the police and the men left,” he said.
Polokwane police spokesperson, Capt Ntobeng Phala asked residents to call the police immediately if they see the men. “Do not confront them as they have been reported to be violent.”Read full story in Review Weekend
