Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Mmabatho High Court in the North West has sentenced 41-year-old Jabulani Moses Yika to 30 years behind bars for his involvement in killing two Hawks officers in 2020 during a high-speed chase after a cash-in-transit robbery took place in Mahikeng.<\/p>\n

Yika, who was sentenced on Friday, was part of nine armed suspects who allegedly shot and forced a cash security van off the road and attempted to blow it open, ordered security officers out of the vehicle, and took both their firearms.<\/p>\n

Members of the National Intervention Unit approached the suspects who then fled, leading to a high-speed chase.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Saturday, Hawks spokesperson Captain Tlangelani Rikhotso said, at the time, their members were alerted to be on the lookout for the vehicle in question.<\/p>\n

When they spotted the vehicle, the officers gave chase and a shootout allegedly ensued resulting in Detective Warrant Officer Grobler-Koonin being shot.<\/p>\n

Rikhotso said:<\/p>\n

Three suspects were shot dead during the shoot out, she added.<\/p>\n

Three AK47 rifles, two pistols, 86 live ammunition, and two vehicles were seized.<\/p>\n

Investigations continued and additional suspects were arrested bringing the total number to nine.<\/p>\n

Solomon Ngubeni,47, Musa Mkhavela,33, Terefe Demmissie,39, Edgar Marule,47 Simphiwe Msibi,24, Jabulane Sibisi,53, Omphile Maswabi,33, and Thuso Tshepo Lobelo,31, made their court appearances and face charges of murder, attempted murder, pre-meditated murder, possession of firearms, possession of ammunition, possession of explosives and malicious property damage.<\/p>\n

“The matter against the other accused has been remanded to 27 February 2023 for trial,” said Rikhotso.<\/p>\n

Provincial Head for DPCI Major General Patrick Mbotho welcomed the sentence and thanked all the units that worked tirelessly to apprehend the perpetrators.<\/p>\n
