The Hawks’ Priority Crime Specialised Investigation (PCSI) has successfully secured a final asset forfeiture order to the value of just over R1.5 million against the now deceased former G4S security guard, Wiseman Mbuyazi (33).
The Johannesburg High Court sitting on Wednesday, 26 October 2022, has granted a final order emanating from a case of theft of R3.5 million registered at Langlaagte police station in 2020.
It was reported that on Thursday, 8 October 2020, Mbuyazi who was employed by G4S Security Company responsible for replenishment Auto Teller Machines (ATM) stole approximately R3.5 Million over a period of almost two months and fled.
The Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation successfully traced and arrested Mbuyazi at his hideout in Ntuzuma, Kwa Zulu Natal.
An amount of R80 000-00 together with a Hyundai Accent allegedly bought with the proceeds of crime were recovered during the arrest. It was further established that he had paid some of the loot into a trust account owned by Attorneys to purchase a house in Cosmo City which he intended to register under his younger brother’s details.
Wiseman Mbuyazi was denied bail after numerous attempts and eventually died in prison whilst his theft and money laundering case was still undecided in court.
