Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Seventeen of the 19 people who died in a shootout between police and suspected cash-in-transit robbers in Limpopo have been identified.<\/p>\n

Mandlakayise Ngcobo, 49; Mzwandile Hlongwane, 43; Siyabonga Mkhunya, 44; Lazarus Ndlovu, 39; Khulekani Sibanda, 42; Collins Disego, 45; Frank Moyo, 43; Alexander Myambi, 24; Mandlenkosi Magangane, 35; Mokwi Ntshetseng, 41; Hope Makhavhu, 46; Lehlohonolo Tshuto, 41; Simbarashe Machingautu, 37; Thabo Thipe, 54; and Ramaisa Dipholo, 36, died in Makhado on Friday.<\/p>\n

Two of the victims were women: Juliet Mugabe, 27, and Tshilidzi Maluleke, 36.<\/p>\n

Five of the dead were from Zimbabwe, while the rest were from Gauteng and Limpopo.<\/p>\n

The process of identifying the other two bodies is ongoing, said Hawks spokesperson Matimba Maluleke.<\/p>\n

Police initially said that 18 people suspected of planning to carry out a cash-in-transit heist had been killed during the shootout. However, on Saturday, police found another body at the scene.<\/p>\n

News24 previously reported that officers had responded to information on a planned cash-in-transit heist.<\/p>\n

According to Maluleke, the suspected robbers were believed to be planning to carry out a heist in the Makhado area on the day. As they were leaving a house to allegedly carry out the robbery, they realised that they were being monitored and started shooting at the police.<\/p>\n

The shootout lasted 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

At the same time, another group of officers arrested five people at a house in Thohoyandou. It is understood they are linked to the suspected robbers in Makhado.<\/p>\n

The five people \u2013 Asanda Maqhawu, 33; Charity Makhwedzana, 34; Ramabele Peta, 47; Vusimuzi Ramabekae, 51; and Sillo Mposi, 48 \u2013 appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

They face charges including possession of a suspected stolen vehicle, theft, conspiracy to commit crime and fraud.<\/p>\n

The matter was postponed to 3 October 2023 for further investigation.<\/p>\n
