“Another robber held a security guard and the centre manager at gunpoint. I ran back to the bathroom and locked myself inside until it was safe to come out again.”

A Centurion man shot at Eldoraigne Village shopping centre on Tuesday was attacked for his Rolex watch.
Danie van Reenen (51) and his wife Ulandie had finished shopping when Ulandie said she had to visit the loo.
“We got into the car and went to the underground parking area where I got out and went to the bathroom.”
While Ulandie was in the toilet she heard a gunshot, but thought it was a firecracker.
“With the second shot, I heard my husband’s voice very loudly.”
Ulandie said she went outside and saw two armed men in a brawl with her husband.
“Another robber held a security guard and the centre manager at gunpoint. I ran back to the bathroom and locked myself inside until it was safe to come out again.”
She said the episode was over within 3 minutes.
“Paramedics were on the scene within 6 minutes.”
Ulandie said an older lady sitting in her car and a cleaner saw everything.
“The armed robbers weren’t interested in anything other than my husband’s Rolex watch. They didn’t take anything else.”
The first shot missed but the second one hit Danie in the stomach. He underwent an emergency operation for three hours on Tuesday to have the bullet removed.
“Unfortunately the doctors were unable to remove the bullet because it is stuck in the pelvis.”
