17 March 2025- A man (30) who was arrested for business robbery will remain in custody until his next court appearance on 27 March 2025. The accused, Steven Ndlovu, briefly appeared before the Rustenburg Magistrate’s Court on 12 March 2025, on three counts of business robbery.
The North West police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said, Ndlovu was arrested in Johannesburg on 6 March 2025, where he was appearing in court. Mokgwabone said this was after he was linked, through forensic leads, to business robberies allegedly committed in Rustenburg between August 2016 and December 2024.
“Subsequent to the arrest, the accused was brought to Rustenburg, where he was linked to three cases. The accused is also facing two charges of business robbery committed in Hillbrow and Roodepoort.
“Investigations into the matter continue and the possibility of linking him to other cases cannot be ruled out,” he said.
Meanwhile, the acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General Patrick Asaneng, applauded the police for the arrest, which he said will serve as an indication that nothing will deter the police from tracing and arresting those who commit crime.
