Johannesburg - A journalist from the international television news service, CNN, and his wife were robbed at gunpoint outside the network's offices in Auckland Park in Johannesburg early on Saturday, said CNN.
CNN spokesperson Susanna Flood said from London that CNN Africa correspondent Jeff Koinange and his wife were robbed by four armed young men who took personal items and television equipment from them. Neither was physically harmed.
"CNN's first concern is for the safety of Jeff and his wife and additional security measures have been put in place," said Flood. She said the incident was being investigated by police and CNN. Koinange was not working on an assignment when the robbery took place.
And poor Jeff thought the Niger Delta was dangerous....
