A 56-year-old Dumisani Mnyandu is expected to reappear in the Molopo Magistrates’ Court in Mmabatho on Thursday, 1 August 2024, for bail application. Mnyandu was apprehended on Thursday, 25 July 2024, while attempting to cross the Ramatlabana Port of Entry into Botswana with a Hyundai Grand Creta vehicle.
He was arrested after the circulation system showed that the vehicle with KwaZulu-Natal registration numbers, was allegedly hijacked at Mbizana in the Eastern Cape, on Sunday, 14 July 2024. Preliminary investigations revealed that Mnyandu was in transit to Malawi.
Consequent to his arrest, Mnyandu made initial court appearance on Friday, 26 July 2024, for possession of suspected stolen motor vehicle.
Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, commended police at the Port of Entry for their attentiveness and collaboration with Vehicle Crime Investigation Unit (VCIU) in the fight against transnational crimes.
