A pastor was brutally attacked at an Engen garage in Horizon Park, in Roodepoort on the West Rand, when he pulled up to fill his tank.

The attacker, who was parked at the petrol pump with another man, approached Pastor Ron Rambebu and started punching him repeatedly through his car window.

According to TimesLIVE, the man also called him the K-word.

The following video, via CCTV footage from the garage, shows the attack:

After the attack, Rambebu drove off, while the man and his friend went back to the white Ford Mustang. When the pastor got out of his car, the men drove off.

Rambebu describes the attack like this:

“After I finished, I paid and started driving. The next thing, I just felt punches coming through my window. At first I thought I was being hijacked or something was falling on top of me, and I stopped.

“These guys were speaking Afrikaans and kept punching me. When I wiped my face, I saw it was just blood coming out,” he said.

The full-time pastor of Greater Glory International Ministries said he parked his car and got hold of a wheel spanner from a place which fixed tyres at the garage.

“As I turned, they started driving off. I tried to chase them, but I was too late.”

Rambebu said that he went to the garage to get the CCTV footage and ask the petrol attendants what happened.

“They told me that those people said something about my EFF cap that I was wearing and that they were calling me the k-word. I didn’t respond, because I didn’t hear them,” he said.

…”I want the guys to be arrested, because I am angry and wanted to fight back – but I am a pastor and didn’t want to go to jail. Let the law take its course.”

An assault case has been opened and police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.
