That’s how eNCA’s Jody Jacobs sums up his feelings after he and Noluthando Hlophe were robbed at gunpoint while after a live crossing from the unrest in Tshwane on Wednesday.
“…One minute I was just getting over the anxiety of being on live TV‚” Jacobs says on a Facebook post about the attack in Mamelodi.
“The next minute‚ two guys approached us‚ calm and collected.”
Hlophe picks up the story and posts: “They tried to grab Jody’s cellular but Jody was on some ‘Hey bro now you’re pushing it! NOT the phone I gotta tweet this! What’s wrong witchu?’ ”
Says Jacobs: “They then threaten us with a firearm and we realise it’s serious.”
Hlophe adds: “Soooon as he said ‘Letha la le sbhamu’ (‘bring this gun’)‚ I was like ‘hey bro this camera has never even belonged to enca‚ It is yours We brought it for u’.”
Then‚ Jacobs says‚ “they take the camera‚ and tell us to run to the police…Into their getaway car‚ they jump and drive off. Noluthando Hlophe and I were so shocked that it took us a few minutes to realise what happened.”
Jacobs also posted that they “reported the incident to the police (which was a drama in itself)”.
