The girl and her mother were behind the counter with a toddler when the three robbers burst in wearing motorcycle helmets.
One tried to close the metal shutters to lock them inside, and another opened the latch to the kiosk where the mother was counting cash.
CCTV footage shows the girl grabbing a huge blade and which she swings at the intruders while her mother pushes them back.
She skilfully waves the machete several more times as she chases the raiders out of the shop.
According to reports, the robbers shot the mother outside in the street then fled on motorbikes.
She was not seriously hurt in the February 4 attack and is said to be recovering well.
