south african tv reporter gets muged on camera

A report that was about to being filmed outside of a hospital in south Africa to report on Zambian president for a medical report but before the filming started two muggers came from the darkness of the night and told him to give them his phone the report un-willing to give up his phone the second mugger showed up and they took him to the ground taking his money in his wallet a laptop and his phone and all of this was caught on camera luckily no one was hurt during this and the reporter has said that he hopes they will brought to justice.

in my opinion this is something that probably happens everyday in Africa but because it was caught on camera and there is proof that he got mugged it made the news because usually no one would care but because it was on camera and it was to a reporter people all of a sudden start to care.
