Mahlaba was arrested by members of the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation on 14 June 2024. The arrest emanates from an investigation which began after Bidvest Protea Coin Security guards cornered members of a syndicate that tampers with essential infrastructure. Members of the syndicate were nabbed while draining fuel from a Transnet pipeline in Klipfontein farm in Nigel in October 2023 and the truck used during the syndicate was seized.
Investigation revealed that the horse and trailer truck used during the commission of crime belongs to an owner from Newcastle. The investigation team further discovered that the syndicate fraudulently changed the registration number of the truck from a Mpumalanga Province registration number to a Gauteng Province registration number without the knowledge of the owner.
Mahlaba made his first appearance at the Palm Ridge Magistrate Court on 18 June 2024. On Thursday, 20 June 2024 Mahlaba pleaded guilty and was sentenced to R3000 or sixty days imprisonment as well as declared unfit to possess a firearm in terms of Section 103 Act 60 of 2000 of the Firearms Control Act.The views of authors published on South Africa Today are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of South Africa Today.
