The Carte Blanche team had been filming an insert outside  Bophelo House, the provincial head office of the department of health at the time of the mugging according to The Citizen.

The incident happened shortly after four men people appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court in connection with the mugging of SABC journalists outside Milpark hospital.

Alfred Tlougameli, Clement Mncube, Pascal Junior and Modin Modin were charged with assault.

The footage of that mugging went viral on YouTube.

Govender tweeted further about her mugging today, saying:

#BloemMugging This story has made headlines yet people are robbed in SA every day. I can replace what I lost. Others cant.

The point abt my #BloemMugging is NOT that it happened to ME. It's abt the constant crime we are ALL subjected to EVERYDAY. That's the angle

Bafana Bafana coach has also fallen victim to crime - he was robbed of his two cellphones and a laptop in Melville, Johannesburg.

Speaking on Marawa's show, 083Sports@6, Mashaba said he had stepped out of his car for a "few minutes" only to find his car had been "broken" into when he returned.

"A number of personal items were stolen, among them my two cellphones and a laptop," said Mashaba.
