According to the report, a victim was with one of her colleague working at one of the local mortuary collecting monthly cash from some of their clients when two armed men driving a white polo classic parked next to them, threatened them with firearms, robbed them of an undisclosed amount of cash and cellphones, and took their car keys. The suspects fled the scene.
The Provincial Commissioner of Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has urged the members of the public to be vigilant and not carry with them large amount of cash as this could expose them to risk. “The criminals are on a rampage during this festive season, we encourage the public to use other methods of handling their finances than carrying huge amount of cash, methods such as electronic banking amongst others should be explored to minimize the number of robberies especially this festive season,” said Lieutenant General Hadebe.
