Reporter Mugged On Live TV [VIDEO]

Being a TV reporter in South Africa is a tough job!

The guy who got mugged was Vuyo Mvoko from SABC News.

One of the robbers pointed a weapon and threatened to shoot Mvoko.

It appeared that Mvoko wasn't going to go along with the robbery until somebody he was with yelled and told him to hand over his phone.

Mvoko tells BBC News, "I couldn't understand why they'd walk right in front of the camera because the light is on and they could see that - and our car is branded, so they could see that this is a live broadcast."
