From the 10 charges the three Mozambican nationals, Arlendo Mhlanga, Adam Hlongwane and Inancio Chauke, were facing, the court sentenced them to a cumulative 85 years imprisonment.
Pretoria - The Mogwase Regional Court in the North West has handed hefty jail terms to Mozambican nationals Arlendo Mhlanga, Adam Hlongwane and Inancio Chauke after the trio were convicted on charges related to rhino poaching, which took place at the Pilansberg Game Reserve in the province.
After their arrest, the three sought to be released on bail, but it was denied. They remained in police custody until the completion of the trial. From the 10 charges the three were facing, the court sentenced them to a cumulative 85 years imprisonment. However, the court ordered for some sentences to run concurrently.“Mhlanga and his co-accused will then spend an effective 35 years in prison for the crimes they committed. The court also declared them unfit to possess firearms. The Ford bakkie and other items that were in their possession are also forfeited to the state,” said Mamothame.
