A loud bang stunned shoppers at a busy Nonesi Mall in Komani a few hours ago.
It later emerged that a cash-in-transit officer had fired
a gunshot at a young man who then sped off towards the exit.
According to onlookers, the would-be thief was hit in the leg but managed to escape with his life.
Nonesi Mall has confirmed that an incident took place and has been referred to the Mlungisi police.
