FORMER SPRINGBOK HOOKER Naka Drotske was in critical condition in hospital this morning after being shot during an armed robbery outside the South African capital Pretoria.
The 47-year-old, a member of the 1995 World Cup winning squad, was at his brother’s property in Kameeldrift last night when three men broke into the house police told local media.
“There was a struggle whereby one of the men was shot at,” police spokesman Kay Makhubele said.
Drotske suffered severe blood loss after being shot three times and was undergoing emergency treatment at the Netcare Montana hospital in Pretoria, reports said.
His business partner and fellow former Springbok Os du Randt was also at the scene of the robbery, but was unhurt.
