Two armed men threatened to shoot him before stealing his red Audi A3 Quattro Sportback, two cell phones and two laptops that were inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Middelburg Observer, Cllr Matshiane, who is also Ward 7 Councillor, said that when he alighted from his vehicle he never suspected a thing.<\/p>\n
“I went to Ackerville as I had an appointment to see someone in that area. I got to the house, parked outside, and as I got out of the vehicle two males approached me,” he said.<\/p>\n
The men threatened to shoot him if he screamed. They then grabbed both his cell phones and argued among themselves as to whether they should kill him or not.<\/p>\n
“I was scared for my life. One of the suspects said that he will kill me now, but the other refused and said that this is my lucky day”.<\/p>\n
The suspects then fled the scene with the Councillors car.<\/p>\n
“As soon as they left I started to scream and got the attention of neighbours, who rushed outside and asked me what was happening. I explained what had just happened and asked if I could borrow someone’s phone so that I could call the police. I was then taken to the Vosman SAPS to open a case”.<\/p>\n
Cllr Matshiane said that he was not hurt during the incident but still feels traumatised.<\/p>\n
“I’m still shaking,” he said.<\/p>\n
Police are investigating the matter and are yet to make any arrests.<\/p>\n
