LIMPOPO police have urged communities not to keep large sums of money in their homes during the festive season after a 55-year-old woman was attacked and robbed of stokvel cash in Nkowankowa on Saturday.
The incident happened at about 5am when the woman stepped outside to fetch water. As she returned indoors, two unknown men overpowered her.
Provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, said one of the assailants pointed a firearm at the victim and demanded money before forcing her into a bedroom. The assailants allegedly took a plastic bag containing a substantial amount of stokvel savings as well as her cellphone. The woman was pushed to the floor during the robbery and sustained injuries, though no shots were fired.
