Five armed men stole R155 000 from a construction company that was about to pay out monthly wages to its workers on Friday, and fired shots at staff who chased them.

“It was just after 1pm. Most of us Muslims were at mosque but when we got back I was told about the robbery and shooting,” said Salie Brown, 54, a foreman at Pinelands Development Company in Sunningdale, Table View.

“When the salaries were about to be paid out, guns were pointed at the guy in charge. The workers tried to apprehend the robbers but they got away and fired some shots,” he said.
