News24 reports that a Nuusdag television crew was robbed of its film equipment and personal belongings in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, on Friday.  

Dieter Göttert, the camera operator for the news station, said he and field reporter Graig-Lee Smith were following developments on the SANDF's deployment in parts of the city and had set up camera on Idada Avenue in Site C when they were approached by "three young guys" who were very low-key.  Göttert said he had initially tried to resist, but had had to relent after he saw that the robbers were armed.  "They disappeared with both our cellphones and the camera, which was on a tripod, behind some houses within 30 seconds," he reported.
