And what about many other CIT drivers that have risked their lives to avert heists. When do we get to know about them?

Now it's making sense, i was wondering how come an ordinary security guard to have such courage and experience

Now it makes sense, it’s special task force after all. They should be proud of themselves at SAPoliceService

Kudos to him. Wonder what happened - from working as a special task force officer, to being a transit driver 🤔

Guard in viral foiled heist video given extra security detail after death threatsLeo Prinsloo, the hero guard whose brave escape from armed suspects has sparked the interests of communities around the world, has been placed under police guard following death threats. You have to put both of them under police guard, the brother was ready for war too. The other guy looks like he was shocked beyond shock. Are we in that kind of a country already where criminals make follow ups on killing people, and we insist on Sec 9 of the constitution for the sake of the dignity of criminals? War must be declared on criminals of cash in transit crime. Wish we had a government to react to this🤔
