Kimberley – A Kimberley security guard was released on bail by the city’s magistrate’s court on Thursday after allegedly shooting dead a car guard.

Thabang Alex Dinale, 24, was granted R2000 bail and his case was postponed to September 26, Lieutenant Sergio Kock said.

He allegedly shot and killed car guard Mudinie Hassim, 43, during an altercation on Wednesday.

“The cash-in-transit security guard was busy loading money into a safe at an ATM in Phakamile Mabija Road when the victim tried to pass on the pavement. (Dinale) tried to redirect the victim and this led to an argument between the two people.”

Hassim allegedly slapped Dinale, causing him to draw his gun and shoot.
