According to reports, the operation lasted several hours.
The security agents were said to have arrived Sambo’s residence in two vehicles: a Coaster Bus and Toyota Hilux Van.
An eyewitness told Vanguard that the operatives were aggressive as they threatened to shoot any unauthorised person that got close to the residence.
“They came at about 3.00pm and left at about some minutes to 5:00pm.As they came they warned that anybody that move
would be shot,” the resident said.
Another resident said, “When they came out, they look so rough, an evidence that maybe
they break into some areas (ceiling) in the house.
“We saw police, SARS, DSS and we are trying to confirm from them their mission and they told us that they are here to search.
“They threatened to shoot us. They blocked all the road leading to this place.”
