Part of the art of being a good criminal is flying under the radar and trying not to leave a trace, which is something Zimbo nationals Alfred Ndlovu and Clement Ncube would do well to remember.

They were the duo behind the on air mugging of SABC contributing editor Vuyo Mvoko, robbed outside of Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg whilst the cameras were rolling.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and see it one more time:

Well, in this case at least, these two criminals have been given a klap by the long arm of the law. Here’s eNCA:

National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) Gauteng spokesman Phindi Louw confirmed that Ndlovu and Ncube had been handed down 15-year prison terms.

“I can confirm that both accused were each sentenced to 15 years. They will begin their sentences immediately.

“There was overwhelming evidence against these two and that is why they had pleaded guilty,” Louw said…

SABC journalist Chriselda Lewis, who was part of the crew that was mugged, took to social media saying she was delighted over the sentencing and that the incident had been very traumatic.

“Thanks to SAPS for working tirelessly to ensure those thugs are behind bars. 15 years in jail. Do it for other victims too. I almost feel sorry for them but think how I almost threw myself off the bridge to escape. Society doesn’t deserve that rot,” Lewis tweeted.

Well played SAPS, although not every pair of muggers is going to make your job as easy.
