Ncube was arrested in Olievenhoutbosch in August 2020.
“The arrest came after the community complained about a vehicle that was used to commit robberies in the area. Police, who were on patrol, spotted the vehicle carrying four men and chased it.”
Three of the four men managed to escape on foot while Ncube was arrested inside the vehicle.

She said two of the three suspects were still at large and a third suspect has since died.
