Speaking to The Juice, Siv says he fought for his "expensive" phone because it had a lot of important contacts.
"I don't recommend anyone doing what I did. Please do not try the same thing. Just hand over your phone," he told the publication.
While Siv was uninjured in the robbery, one of his friends was hit over the head with a gun.
"I'm sick and tired of these criminals making our lives a living hell. It's time South Africa does something about the crime. You can't be robbed like this during the daylight," he told the publication.
