A Cape Town man has shared a traumatic account after he and his two children, aged 11 years and 10 months, were robbed during a trip from Manenberg to Delft using an e-hailing vehicle at the weekend.

According to the victim, the vehicle suddenly stopped near the Samora/Watergate R300 turn-off, where armed suspects confronted them and robbed them of all their belongings.

He said he was fortunate enough to send a live location to family members before a firearm was pointed at them.

A family member rushed to assist. During the chaos, the neighbour’s bakkie was also allegedly hit from behind.

Many people on social media are praising him for thinking really fast with sending the live location because it may have turned out really bad for him and his kids

The man sustained head injuries requiring 10 stitches, while the 11-year-old suffered hand injuries and needed five stitches.
