In a supermarket in the Orange Farm township of Johannesburg, South Africa, a cash-in-transit guard was shot dead after being confronted by a robber, who promptly snatched the money box and swiftly left the scene.

If the guard had just let the thief take the money, I think he wouldn't have been shot because the thief almost looked like he was shocked at what just happened right after he shot him. So I'm thinking that it wasn't a planned murder.

I could be totally wrong, but that's just how it looked to me

Lost his life defending something for a company that'll have him replaced by sundown.

I did cash in transit and we were always told to just hand the box over. I would never die for a company. Fuck that.

[sweep100]

I would have said take the fucker, another one next week.

[Trucked up]

There was some pressure in his head for sure, after shot the first sign of blood was like a foot or 2 away.

one of the shittiest and dangerous jobs you can have over there

The Congress of South African Trade Union (COSATU) said cash-in-transit security guards were often poorly paid and open to bribes and intimidation, and this even extended to SAPS members and magistrates. The reality was that these workers were working extremely long shifts -- often 12 hours --and some entry level security guards earned as little as R3 500 per month. Many undocumented migrant workers were deliberately employed and exploited. The workers should be guaranteed a 40 hour work week, and not be forced to work 12-hour shifts. COSATU believed that the guards should be paid R20 000. All workers should be permanent employees and be provided with pension, medical aid and insurance.
