SA’s cash heist gangs [“do not terrorise their own]

[ajak]

THEY live by the motto Sibindi uya phelisa, sibindi uya bulala, loosely translated as: Bravery can kill you, or it can give you life.
Yet the cold-blooded killers behind the epidemic of cash-in-transit robberies call themselves gentlemen because they “do not terrorise their own”.
Today, following an announcement by the South African police that cash-in-transit robberies had increased by 74.1%, the Sunday Times can reveal the chilling story behind the gangs who plan their brazen crimes with military precision.

Other fingermen are corrupt policemen who often warn the gang that the SAPS are on their way. They also delay police reaction, destroy evidence at the crime scene, sell dockets to heist members or help awaiting-trial heist members to escape.

Another robber told Irish-Qhobosheane: “Sometimes the police will be paid off by us as a bribe, but there are also policemen who are actually part of, or even run, cash-in-transit networks.”

And that's the major problem.
