On Friday, 23 February 2024, a significant arrest was executed in Benoni, South Africa, which has now culminated in a substantial prison sentence. Vispol members apprehended a 38-year-old suspect on Snake Road, Benoni, at approximately 16:00, following an incident of possession of explosives.
The case was promptly registered at the South African Police Service (SAPS) Benoni station and assigned to Sergeant Kgetsi Tom Mankge of the Benoni Detectives unit. Sergeant Mankge immediately initiated a thorough and meticulous investigation, diligently collecting all pertinent evidence to build a robust case. His efforts were maintained until the matter was brought before the court for trial.
The persistence and dedication displayed by the detective came to fruition on 19 November 2025. The accused, identified as Trueman Madondo, a Zimbabwean national, was convicted on two serious charges. He received a sentence of 10 years imprisonment for the possession of explosives and a further 12 months for the contravention of the Immigration Act. The court ordered that these sentences run concurrently. Furthermore, Madondo was declared unfit to possess a firearm.
Ekurhuleni District Commissioner, Major General Anna Sithole, has expressed her unreserved welcome of the conviction. She extended her sincere applause to Sergeant Mankge for his exceptional investigative work, acknowledging that his diligence has made a profound and positive impact in addressing crime within the Ekurhuleni District.
