The One South Africa party leader was robbed at gunpoint at a Claremont bar and is recovering from the traumatic experience.
Mmusi Maimane can most certainly relate to the struggles faced by everyday South Africans just to make it through the day in one piece.Maimane said he was recovering from the traumatic experience, having come face to face with three gunmen who stormed the unnamed bar:Maimane has described the incident as surreal and something out of a movie.“Three gunmen came into the store. They put everybody down and went table to table and collected items from various tables and held up the management.
In this case, the victims were fortunate that police and private security companies were promptly on the scene.“People who were in the restaurant were equally traumatised and so everyone had to give statements. Fortunately, no one was hurt.”, saying the robbery happened shortly after he entered the premises at around 7:45PM.The men then started brandishing weapons and ordered the bartender to hand over cash while forcing patrons to get under their tables.
Maimane said the robbery was over quickly, with security guards who had been alerted to the robbery giving chase but failing to apprehend the gunmen.View this post on Instagram
