Dylan Kerr has become the latest victim of crime in South Africa.

The Maltese-born coach was robbed at gunpoint in the township of KwaMashu in Durban.

According to Goal, his attackers made off with his cellphone.

An angry Kerr tweeted:

"Anyone who points a gun at you, please don't fight back, the cowards can f*ck off and die. I'm a small % of what's happening; it’s an utter disgrace not just for me but for millions who have had this done to them. It's a massive wake-up call for me to never again trust anyone."

2022 has been a wretched year for Kerr. In September, Moroka Swallows parted ways with Kerr after a poor run of results, as per The Citizen.

All of this came after he had been stuck in an impasse with the Department of Home Affairs, which had been denying him a work permit. He was forced to sit in the stands, forced to watch the Birds struggle to get their season going without him.
