Two other people believed to be involved in the robbery – a male and a female – were also shot dead.
The incident in Kuils River‚ Cape Town‚ comes three weeks after a similar incident in the city’s Table View area in which one woman died when a vehicle transporting Nando’s employees home was fired on by police. In this case the vehicle was also allegedly mistaken for a vehicle that had been involved in an earlier robbery in the area.
A statement released by McDonald’s chief executive officer Greg Solomon on Monday said: “McDonald’s SA can confirm that in the early hours of Monday morning‚ the transport vehicle in which some of our McDonald’s Kuilsriver crew were travelling in‚ was shot at”.
“Tragically two of our crew were fatally injured and five others sustained serious injuries.”
