Footage shows two men accosting Vuyo Mvoko, from the national broadcaster SABC, who was outside a Johannesburg hospital to report on the arrival of Zambia's president for medical tests.
Mr Mvoko later said one of the muggers threatened him with a gun when he did not want to give up his mobile phone.

The robbers appear unconcerned by the presence of the camera.
   
“I couldn't understand why they'd walk right in front of the camera because the light is on and they could see that”

Shortly afterwards, Mr Mvoko, who is a contributing editor for the national news channel, tweeted that he was safe and sound and posted a link to a video of the mugging, which has gone viral.
Police said the robbers took laptops and mobile phones and that officers were investigating in the incident.

"Hopefully someone will be able to identify them and get them arrested," Mr Mvoko told the BBC's Newsday programme.

He said it took him a while to realise what was happening as it was less than a minute till he was due to go live near the Milpark Hospital.

"I couldn't understand why they'd walk right in front of the camera because the light is on and they could see that - and our car is branded, so they could see that this is a live broadcast."
