Neither worked for them: not their muti nor the prayers.
This is according to Gauteng police deputy commissioner Maj-Gen Fred Kekana, who said officers intercepted a group of alleged robbers while they were en route to rob a businessman about to bank a substantial amount of cash.
Police were acting on information received from Crime Intelligence in the Eastern Cape. The Anti-Gang Unit was tasked with tracking them down.
When police confronted the suspects' vehicle in Randfontein, on the West Rand, they came under fire.
Officers returned fire, killing four men.
