A group of foreign soccer fans has been held up at gunpoint in Mpumalanga.

The incident happened at the group’s lodge in Hazyview, after the Australian Socceroos’ match against Serbia in Nelspruit last week. A gang of four men ambushed three Australians, a French citizen and a British couple when they returned to the lodge.

The victims were tied up before being robbed.

It is reported that the attackers groped an Australian woman, but Mpumalanga police say they only received an armed robbery complaint.
