Midlands Police Spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident.
“Zhuwau was parked in Chicago suburb together with his girlfriend Tanatswa Mutembo around 3PM when he was approached by the two suspects who were armed with machetes and pepper spray. They ordered the two to get into the car while threatening to kill them if they refused,” said Insp Mahoko.
