KWAZULU-NATAL. — A pensioner (63) defended himself on Sunday at approximately 16:30 with a pot of potato curry when a man attacked him in his home in Tower Road, Watsonia. The pensioner was alone and cooking when the man entered through the front door. The security gate was open.
Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa) says the man attacked the pensioner with a metal object used for prayer. The pensioner threw the potato curry he was cooking at the man and hit him with the pot. The man fled with cash from the pensioner's wallet and a cellphone. The pensioner sustained head injuries and was transported to hospital in a private vehicle. Rusa launched an extensive search for the suspect.
