The bus allegedly came under attack and swerved into the coffee shop just before 7 pm, EWN quoted Donde as saying.
Donde said that the bus seemed to be coming down Buitenkant Street at speed.
The coffee bar’s front door was destroyed, and a newly built parklet was also damaged.
“He went through our brand new parklet… and straight into our front door,” said Donde.
The exact number of injured individuals remained unclear, with conflicting reports from the police and a mayoral committee member.
