An American exchange student based in Pretoria was robbed of his belongings shortly after arriving in Cape Town at 5:30 on Friday morning.
Bruno Buff, who is studying law through UNISA, came to Cape Town with the intention of giving a presentation to the Department of Tourism at the weekend. Buff was robbed of his lap top, money and luggage. After wandering the streets of Cape Town, Buff eventually found a church in Bonteheuwel where the Priest took him to the Metro Police office.
Based at Bonteheuwel Police station, Superintendent Melvyn Julies, offered to take Buff home with him.
“Fortunately enough, Superintendent Julies was on duty at the time and he then assisted the man with clothing and food and also housed him for the weekend,” said Metro Police spokesperson Nowellyn Petersen. Petersen added that it is not everyday that officers go beyond the call of duty.
