TVNZ: According to a TVNZ news report, "SABC News Editor Vuyo Mkovo was covering a story about the arrival of Zambia's president when the ordeal occurred."
Just seconds before Mkovo's broadcast was to go live, two men passed in front of the camera before turning back and taking Mkovo's phone.
He apparently shrugged off the incident as being "all in a day's work." The muggers are believed to have got away with three phones and a laptop.
