Primrose Det Sgt Sam Ngqoleka from the Ekurhuleni Trio Task Team investigated the case where Ncube was arrested and found in possession of cellphones stolen from the shop.
Primrose SAPS spokesperson Sgt Styles Moame said the accused pleaded guilty at his first appearance in court on December 12, 2020.

“This means that should he not commit a crime again in three years, Ncube will not be liable for the suspended R50 000 or two years’ imprisonment,” said Maome.
“The acting station commander of Primrose SAPS Lt Col Mbazima Maswanganyi and his management thanked Det Sgt Ngqoleka for his hard work and dedication while working on this case.”
