The Dr Kenneth Kaunda Task Team in the North West successfully arrested the 36-year-old Bongani Mawdhlazi of Kanana near Orkney for being linked to two business robberies.
According to North West SAPS’ spokesperson, Aafje Botma, in the latest of the two robberies, it is alleged that three balaclava-wearing men entered the Post Office at Kanana, held cashiers and the manager at gunpoint, and robbed them of an undisclosed amount of cash, which they took from the safe. They fled from the scene. The accused has also been linked to three business robberies allegedly committed in Allanridge, Bothaville, and Viljoenskroon in the Free State.
In another business robbery on Thursday 2 December 2021, Mawdlazi and two men allegedly robbed the Khuma Post Office near Stilfontein of an undisclosed amount of cash. For this business robbery, he is expected to appear in the Orkney Magistrate’s Court.
The North West Provincial Commissioner, Sello Kwena, commended team members and other roleplayers for their hard work that led to this success.
