24 March 2025- A man (30) was arrested by the Bojanala Platinum Sub-District 2 Detectives and Operational Coordination Centre Unit (OCCU) for business robbery, possession of unlicensed firearm and contravention of the Immigration Act, 2002, while appearing in court. The accused, Malvin Clarity Moyo was arrested during an intelligence-led operation in Brits on 19 March 2025.
The North West police spokesperson, Captain Mpho Manyoba said Moyo is said to be part of a group that is alleged to be committing crime around Rustenburg and was positively linked to several business robbery cases through fingerprints. Manyoba said it was also established that Moyo collaborated with Ernesto Ngoveni (28), who appeared before the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court on 20 March 2025, for possession of copper cables.
“Further investigations showed that Ngoveni was also linked to a business robbery committed at a retail shop in Rustenburg. The accused are both Zimbabwe foreign nationals and are expected to reappear in court on Tuesday, for a formal bail application,” she said.
Meanwhile, the acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General Patrick Asaneng, commended the excellent task performed by the police and expressed his delight to see the space for criminality being squeezed.
