The high court in Cape Town has ordered the forfeiture of two vehicles and R290,000 from suspects in two Hawks cases.
“Further investigation linked four suspects to the robbery and the Hawks members seized a VW Polo worth R75,000 and a total cash amount of R290,000 from different suspects,” said Nkwalase.
The high court ordered that the car be auctioned and the cash be deposited into the criminal assets recovery account. In the second case, the court ordered the auction of a Kia truck, confiscated in 2017 when five suspects were arrested in Barrydale with 30 rolls of copper cable. “Hawks investigation later linked them [the men] to the alleged theft of Telkom copper cables at Keurboschfontein, just outside Ladismith,” said Nkwalase.Nkwalase said the Hawks and other police officers arrested a man on the N2 in Sedgefield in the Western Cape on February 28 with 472kg of dagga, worth R900,000, in his vehicle. He is believed to have been carrying it from the Eastern Cape to George.
Sicelo Sokaba, 31, is expected to apply for bail when he appears in Knysna Magistrate’s Court on March 13.
