The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) has released the names of the 10 suspects arrested for the Rosettenville shooting, after the group appeared in court.
Hawks national spokesperson Brigadier Thandi Mbambo released the names as follows:
Sihle Mazibuko, 35, Qaphela Ngubeni, 33, Menzi Shabalala, 47. Hloniphani Dube, 40, Alex Matshebele, 40, Phendula Mvubu, 44, Mike Ngwadi, 47, Andrew Tshobolo, 67, Khulekani Nkosi, 36, Kitso Mnguni, 45.
The 10 appeared before the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, facing eight charges of murder, attempted murder, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition, possession of explosives, possession of hijacked vehicles and conspiracy to commit cash-in-transit heist.
“They were part of at least 25 suspects who were accosted during a Crime Intelligence-led operation where their alleged plans to commit a CIT (cash in transit) robbery were intercepted by a multi-disciplinary team led by the National CIT Task Team in Moffatview, in the South of Joburg,” Mbambo said.
