"Lightning speed": Thug runs away with shop owner’s phone in seconds, SA unhappy
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that a shop owner was robbed in Brakpan and the ugly incident was caught on camera. In the viral video footage, a shop owner is seen helping his customers as they buy a few items.
In the clip, there are three guys in the shop and the one wearing a red shirt and white hat is standing in front of the owner, who is serving him.
However, when he is done with the transaction, he snatches a phone belonging to the shop owner and runs away in seconds. The owner also tried to chase him but it seems he failed to recover the stolen phone.
South Africans are not happy with the thuggery in broad daylight that is becoming a common sight in Mzansi. Briefly News looked at the reactions from Yusuf Abramjee’s post.
