The robbery took place just after 10pm, Mzansi said.
“An undisclosed amount of cash has been taken. Two staff members were assaulted with a firearm during the robbery. Customers were also robbed of their cellphones and cash. Two clients were also robbed and the keys to their vehicles were taken. The customers and staff who were injured were taken to hospital. The suspects fled in a silver Renault Triber.
