A group of stokvel members at Tshoare village, in the Mankweng area outside Polokwane in Limpopo, say they face a bleak festive season.

They were sharing money, when two armed robbers entered the house, armed with guns. The suspects fled the scene, with a car that belongs to one of the stokvel members.

The stokvel members say they were also robbed of their other belongings including their cellphones and other cash. They say they were saving the money to build houses, buy Christmas clothes and groceries. They also planned to pay for their children’s school fees and uniforms in January. “I am taking care orphans and we are asking back our money. My grandchildren now have no Christmas clothes and they have no food. I also have debts to pay. They must be ashamed of themselves,” says Elizabeth Tlhapa, a Stokvel member.

Police are investigating a case of robbery and have called for anyone with information to come forward.
