Cape Town – A Cape Town businessman and his associates were assaulted at gunpoint during a business meeting at a restaurant north of Johannesburg, said one of the victims, who did not want to be identified.
The six men were sitting at an outdoor table at the Istanbul Kebab, a Turkish restaurant in the Sunninghill Mall, on Wednesday when the incident occurred.
A video clip of the robbery, which has gone viral on social media, shows a man in dark clothing jumping over a wall and pointing a gun at the men. Another suspect dressed in light-colored clothing joins him, waving his own firearm at the group.
The victims are thrown to the ground with their hands tied, before the robbers take watches, wallets and other items from each of them.
