Johannesburg - A 51-year-old employee of the Nando's restaurant in Honeydew, northwest of Johannesburg, was shot and wounded on Sunday during a robbery, said police.
Inspector Karen Jacobs of West Rand police said two armed men overpowered a 28-year-old staffer while he was closing up the restaurant about 00.30 on Sunday.
One of the robbers stayed at the door while the other one demanded money from the employee.
As the robbers were leaving the restaurant, the 51-year-old driver confronted them and told them not to take the money. One of the robbers fired a shot at the driver, hitting him in the jaw.
The men fled, taking an undisclosed amount of money with them.
The wounded driver managed to drive himself to hospital where he received treatment.
His condition was described on Sunday afternoon as serious, but stable.
