Cape Town - A Western Cape man convicted of involvement in a cash-in transit-heist has been sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment.

Hani said Mayoyo was involved in a cash-in-transit incident on February 11, 2017, at the Eikestad Mall in Stellenbosch during which two Fidelity guards were ambushed and disarmed by gun-wielding robbers near a Standard Bank cash machine. The robbers accosted the guard with firearms and disarmed him. When the rest of the Fidelity guards returned to the truck they disarmed them, too.

An intense investigation by the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation team led to Mayoyo’s arrest on May 18, 2018, and a forensic investigation and CCTV footage linked him to the crime scene.

Such sentences are very soft! That's why CIT crimes will forever be high in SA. These guys are heartless, they can kill! They deserve harsher sentence...

Until they put death or life sentence on this guys, people's lives will always be in danger 🚶🚶🚶

Only 12yrs for CIT, minimum should be 30yrs with no parole
