A robber fatally shot himself after a failed cash-in-transit heist in the Rustenburg CBD.
Police spokesperson Sgt Ofentse Mokgadi said the robbery attempt unfolded soon after 7am on Wednesday when two security officers stopped on Fatima Bhayat Street to collect cash from a business.
As one officer returned to the van, two armed men jumped out of an SUV and confronted him, demanding the money at gunpoint, said Mokgadi.
