Botswana police have confirmed that Sipho Mathangana and Jabu Shabangu, both aged 26, who were arrested after a botched cash-in-transit heist, are from Thembisa.
They were arrested last Friday when police intercepted five gunmen as they allegedly attempted to rob a cash-in-transit vehicle near Riverwalk Mall in Gaborone.
The two were arrested with three Batswana men. Initially, police said three of the five were South African. "They were remanded and will appear again on August 4." They face charges of theft of a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of firearms and illegally entering Botswana. An AK47, three pistols, ammunition and an electronic communications jammer were reportedly found in their possession.
