Popular Cape Town restaurant owner KILLED in ‘brutal hijacking’

Previously, it was reported that friends, family, and well-wishers of Ben Tuzee have paid tribute to the 51-year-old this week, after he was killed during a horrific hijacking incident in Philippi. The Cape Town local was the co-owner of Dixies Bar and Restaurant near Simon’s Town.

After selling a TV on Facebook Marketplace, Mr. Tuzee went to deliver the item on Tuesday. However, the thriving business owner ended up in the wrong Cape Town neighbourhood. Subsequently, he was attacked by an opportunistic thug – while still in possession of the television set.

The victim was stabbed multiple times. His niece was also in the car, and although she was hit by a rock, her life was spared. It’s understood Ben briefly fought off the hijacking suspects, despite his many injuries, sparing the younger girl’s life in the process. Read the full story here.
