This was after he pleaded guilty to the theft of a motor vehicle during the looting and civil unrest that took place in KwaZulu-Natal last year.

In his plea, Majola said he knew of some people that participated in the looting spree, and one of them had given him the vehicle.

Majola told the police he intended to use the vehicle to visit some of his friends and relatives and he planned to abandon the vehicle once he was done with it.

He was arrested a few days later when police stopped him and asked about the branded company vehicle.

The National Prosecuting Authority has commended the work of the prosecution and investigating team in securing the prosecution.
