SASOLBURG – A night out turned into a nightmare for a man who was allegedly threatened, pistol-whipped and robbed by two armed suspects. The shocking incident happened at around 20:00 on November 6.

According to Fezile Dabi Police spokesperson Constable Kelello Patsa, the victim, Sam Mokoena, was allegedly confronted by two unidentified men armed with a firearm. The suspects allegedly pointed the gun at Mokoena before helping themselves to his cellphone and cash.

As if this was not enough, Mokoena was allegedly struck twice on the head with the firearm before he fell to the ground.

“The suspects then fled the scene with Mokoena’s property,” confirmed Patsa.

Sasolburg Police have since opened a case of robbery with a firearm and are investigating the incident.

No arrests have been made yet, but police say investigations continue.
