Good grief! What cowards! This latest onslaught of crime indicates that these people are realy "lazy" and not willing to work too hard for their spoils! They target the weak, the infirm and any other "soft" target that they can. Certainly going for people who are inside a church building, where they would feel safe and secure is as reprehensible and dispicable as targeting someone in a wheel chair! Whatever next! I guess attending church and having security guards standing "watch" outside will soon become the norm!

The congregation at the House of Hope church in Isipingo, south of Durban, was left traumatised after an armed robbery at the church on Monday night. Police Superintendent Danelia Veldhuizen said people were attending a church meeting at the building in Postem Road when four armed men entered the premises. "Four men went in with firearms and told everyone to lie on the floor. They told them not to move and then proceeded to take four sets of car keys. They also stole cellphones and money," she said. The men locked the congregation inside the building and fled in the four vehicles - a blue VW Golf, a white Toyota RunX, a champagne Toyota Conquest and a blue Toyota Tazz. A neighbour heard the congregants shouting for help and opened the door.
No shots were fired and no injuries were reported, said Veldhuizen. No arrests have been made and police are investigating a charge of armed robbery.
