“I went to unwind with my cousin on Sunday after the match, together with my friends. Everything was well until it was time for me and my driver to leave,” Motaung told the Sunday Sun.
“When we were outside, four men approached us with guns and started shooting,” Motaung explained.
“I was lucky to escape, but they robbed my driver of a watch, bag and also took his firearm.
“I don’t know if this is connected with the three fake Hawks officials who were denied bail.
“It seems that I might be targeted by some kind of syndicate.”
