Eight people appeared in court on Wednesday on charges related to the hijacking of an Eskom cable truck.
Western Cape National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said four of the accused were released on bail, while three would remain in custody until their next appearance on 5 July. Tshobeni, Mvula and Chivizhe are understood to be planning to apply for bail at their next appearance. Further afield, Fin24 reported last week that two security guards contracted to Eskom, as well as a taxi driver, were arrested after allegedly being caught with a minibus taxi full of copper cable at an Eskom warehouse in Germiston.
