Scary scenes from South Africa…

Vuyo Mvoko was “literally seconds” away from going live on air on South Africa’s SABC Digital News when he was mugged at gunpoint by a group of thieves.

According to SABC Digital News Mvoko was reporting on Zambian President Edgar Lungu’s arrival to Milpark hospital when the incident occurred.

It really is a terrifying situation to get caught in, but at least Mvoko doesn’t seem too shaken up by the events.
