ROBBERS have killed two Mzansi cops on patrol so far this week.
The latest cop victim was shot dead outside a shopping mall at Bapong near Brits in North West on Wednesday afternoon.
He was killed just after a robbery took place at the mall.
A witness said the cop and a colleague did not know there had been a robbery.
They were walking to their vehicle from a fruit stall when the robbers ran out of the complex shooting.
“The next minute one of the policemen was down.
