GA – MAMABOLO: Stokvel members in Tshware village in Ga – Mamabolo are still reeling after their yearly contributions were confiscated by armed robbers.

The members were accosted by two armed suspects, who robbed them of R60 000.00 cash while gathered to share the money.

It is alleged that the stokvel members gathered at the premises of one of the members. At about 10h30, before they could share their monthly contributions, two suspects appeared and ordered everyone to lie down.

They then took all the money and before they fled the scene, they locked all of them into one of the rooms.

The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has again cautioned community members and business owners to refrain to carry a large amount of money or to share stokvel money in hard cash.
