“BRITS POS – MABOLOKA - A man who runs a food stall at Maboloka taxi rank, Letlhabile with his mother, was busy packing up just before closing time on Wednesday, 21 February around 20:30 when three male customers entered under the pretext to buy food, but suddenly one of the men followed him into the kitchen, pointed a firearm at him and demanded money.
The victim fought back and then one of the other suspects grabbed a spade and assaulted his mother with force. The male victim was also assaulted and sustained injuries to his head.
