The incident took place on 7 January, once again placing the spotlight on safety concerns and the presence of street children along Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard.

Roxy Joubert said the incident happened at about 3pm while she was walking on the promenade, just before the area near the public art glasses while heading towards the lighthouse.

According to Joubert, a group of children appeared to target her in a coordinated manner. She said she first noticed one child approaching her and suspected an attempted bag snatch, prompting her to warn a German friend walking with her to secure her belongings.
