TimesLIVE reports that a security guard who murdered his colleague in a cash-in-transit robbery has been jailed for life.
Zwelinkosi Tsolo, 40, who worked for SBV, shot the guard as he was delivering cash to an ATM in Cape Town in 2009. He was sentenced at the Cape Town High Court on Friday, and given an additional 10 years imprisonment for each of three counts of attempted murder of two members of the public and another guard. He also received a 15-year sentence for armed robbery. Tsolo and his accomplices attacked two SBV guards at Nyanga Junction in Manenberg and fled with cash and firearms. The Hawks arrested Tsolo and five others three months later, but the others were discharged during their trial due to inconclusive evidence.
