Police officers Lehlogonolo Tsagane and Jabulani Ngobeni are sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for extorting R14 000 from a Rivonia business owner.Two police officers have found themselves on the wrong side of the law after they were caught and sentenced for extorting R14 000 from a Rivonia business owner on Tuesday.
On 28 November 2020, the ex-South African Police Service officers were on duty and in full police uniform when they received a tip-off about a suspect branding clothes with the SAPS logo.The duo rushed to the scene, where they illegally demanded R1.5 million from the business owner, Maxwell Chiyangwa, but settled for R14 000 after threatening to arrest him.
Mjonondwane said in court that State Prosecutor Rhyme Nchabeleng argued that the duo abused their power and trust as police officers, exploiting their position to extort money from Chiyangwa. Nchabeleng also argued that these aggravating circumstances warrant severe sentences.
