The heist happened on the R573 road near the town of
Kwaggafontein after 5pm on Monday.
National police spokesperson Lt-Col Brenda Muridili said on
Wednesday that around 15 armed men opened fire on the cash van with assault
rifles in an attempt to stop it.
Muridili said when the van stopped, the driver and two
security guards were disarmed of two 9mm pistols.
She said the driver suffered an injury to his hand but his
firearm was not taken.
"The suspects blew up the cash van and an undisclosed
amount of money was taken and they fled the scene. The injured driver was taken
to hospital," she said.
