Thieves rob Bafana Bafana coach

Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim "Shakes" Mashaba was robbed of his two cellphones and a laptop in Melville, Johannesburg, last night.

The incident took place not far from where SABC reporters were mugged on camera recently.

It is believed Mashaba's car was jammed by thieves using an electronic device as he entered a fast food outlet in Auckland Park ahead of his interview with Metro FM's Robert Marawa.

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.

A case of theft has been opened.
