Below are some of the responses left by concerned locals:
@Lebogang_Madix said:
"There is a police station almost 200m away from the filling station."
@CrocSclothing suggested:
"It's time for the SANDF to be visible in our communities every day. There must be SANDF members present in every major police station to ensure that they assist the SAPS because they are failing alone."
@Tshepo37335802 thinks:
"It is probably the same guys that stole guns at the police station. They are gaining confidence, which is truly regrettable."
@sk_gee said:
"Crime has travelled all the way to Limpopo and those guns are the ones stolen from the police station."
@Ken_Mojela tweeted:
"Less than 1km from the Police Station... Imagine."
@cocagnespapi added:
"All they needed was 2 mins to set up and detonate. Yho... Are those rumours about these gents being from the army true? Idk man, 2 minutes?!?"

At the beginning of the video, the group pounces on their target and proceed to push and shove him. The people around aren't willing to help and quickly move away while the scuffle continues.
