Eskom has withdrawn its services in Khayelitsha. Some of its employees were robbed at gun pointed in Makhaza on Saturday.
‘’The men pointed firearms at the employees and forced them to hand over the car keys. The employees were forced into their work vehicle by the men whose faces were covered. They were dropped in Green Point (in Khayelitsha). Four cellphones, a car battery, two step ladders and devices belonging to Eskom were stolen,’’ said Captain FC van Wyk, Western Cape police spokesperson.
Van Wyk said a case of carjacking is under investigation and
no arrests had yet been made.
