Four men appeared in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court in Cape Town on Friday for allegedly robbing a trio of German tour operators.
The men, aged between 17 and 20, were arrested on Thursday, a day after the robbery.
Police spokesperson Superintendent Billy Jones said the case was postponed for a bail application, and the men would remain in custody.
The travel agents were robbed of handbags, jewellery, money, cameras and cellphones on Wednesday evening while in their tour bus in Makahaza in Khayelitsha.
They were in South Africa as part of a group of 300 Germans visiting the country to learn more about it so as to market it effectively abroad. – Sapa
