Both the husband and wife were taken to hospital for further medical treatment.
Police has confirmed that the husband is currently recovering in the intensive care unit of a local hospital and that he is in a stable condition.
A woman posted on Facebook that the husband had to undergo emergency surgery.
Police are still on the lookout for the three suspects in the white Merc.
“Women who travel in the Krugersdorp area, leaving shopping centres and wearing expensive jewellery are targeted. The Krugersdorp SAPS would appreciate any information that might lead to the arrest of these suspects,” Ernst concluded.
