Gospel singer Thinah Zungu is left reeling after a group of intruders forcefully entered his home, brandishing a firearm towards his wife and children, and making off with over R500 000 worth of valuables, including his beloved BMW X5. Fortunately, the vehicle was later recovered, according to ZiMoja.
In the wee hours of Monday morning, an incident unfolded at his residence. His wife and children were safely tucked away in their rooms in their recently constructed Durban double-story home.”The incident happened around 00:30 to 01:, and we were all at the house,” he told ZiMoja. “I have never been robbed in my life,” he said.
Thinah Zungu is devastated. He said:
"I am hurt. I work so hard for my family, preaching about changing lives but the same people who we motivate are the ones who have the guts to come into my home and rob us."
Thinah reported that his car and various electronics, including televisions, phones, headsets, and other appliances, as well as clothes and shoes, were stolen. The total value of the stolen items is estimated to be over R500,000.
“They cut the electric fence and broke one of the windows in the house to gain access.” Thinah said they were instructed to look down, so they couldn’t identify any of them. “They then loaded my car with everything they took in the house. We cooperated with them as they cleaned us out,” he said
His car, after a stint with a tracking company, was eventually found at a park in Dube Village, near Inanda. Quite the unexpected location!”By the grace of God, we came out alive because we cooperated and did everything they required. The car was found, but we lost everything else. I guess it is all material things that can be replaced, as long as we are good and alive,” he said
As per the report by ZiMoja, it has been confirmed by KwaZulu-Natal SAPS spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda that a case of robbery and housebreaking was opened on 3 June.”The suspects made off with some valuable items, no arrest has been made and the case is still being investigated,” source revealed.
