News24 reports that a reward of R1m is being offered for information about an armed robbery in Cape Town that left one security guard dead and another injured, cash-in-transit company SBV Services said on Sunday.  

The guards were servicing an ATM in Athlone on Saturday morning when they came under attack on the corner of Klipfontein and Carnie Roads.  Western Cape police said five armed, unknown suspects made off with an undisclosed amount of money.  SBV’s South African CEO Mark Barrett said:  “I am deeply saddened that one of our employees has lost his life during the attack and that another employee is in a critical condition.”  Barrett said he was horrified by the ongoing violent attacks against those in the industry.
