“At about 23:00 Wednesday night, five men walked into Danville Supermarket at Van der Berg and Suttel Gral streets in Westville. Once inside the shop, the men produced fire arms and assaulted the 27- year-old Somali shop owner whose name remains uncertain,” police spokesperson, Captain Bonginkosi Msimango said.
