Cape Town cash-in-transit robbers to serve 4 years in jail | Sesona_Ngqaks

Two men convicted on charges related to a cash-in-transit in Parow, Cape Town, were sentenced to four years in prison on Wednesday.

Senzo Ponoyi, 28, and Nkosiphendule Khanyana, 35, attacked a G4S security guard at the Parow Shopping Centre in 2016. The duo went off with the money box. "During their getaway, they dropped the cash box after it exploded. The local police were alerted and managed to arrest the two in possession of a toy gun not far from the crime scene," said Hawks spokesperson Philani Nkwalase.
