Scandal! actress' family held at gunpoint in house robbery─── 10:11 Mon, 26 Mar 2018
South African actress Marjorie Langa says she is grateful to be alive after an armed robbery at her home last Sunday.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Marjorie – who plays Gloria on e.TV soap Scandal! – said that she was sitting in her home watching football when a group of men approached her home and asked her helper if she sold drugs.
When her son and relative went to close the main gate, the group ran inside the house.
Marjorie shared that she locked herself and some relatives in the bathroom when she heard the men enter the house.
The actress said that while being locked in the bathroom, they could hear the robbers taking their TVs off the wall and things falling inside the house. One of the men held Marjorie's sister-in-law at gunpoint.
“We were screaming out the bathroom window to the neighbours. All we could do was scream for help. We were panicking. But we decided that maybe we should stop screaming in case they shot us through the door,” she said.
Marjorie said the family has been offered counselling following the incident.
The incident was confirmed by Linden Police to TshisaLIVE and is currently under investigation.
