Hawks swoop on alleged Transnet fuel theft kingpin 

Good show. What amazes me though is how government officials are never locked up. I am sure some of them might also be involved. Are they protected? This theft is small fry compared to government theft of tax payers monies and nobody has been jailed.

The Kingpin took bribery cash with him...lol

And they selling this to a Tender back to transnet. More like 20 X that.lots of people involved. Ex employees, all in.

Hope they called the fashion police too. Mans house has no style.

Bidvest Protea Coin bo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as politicians are not arrested I am not convinced

How can you be stealing such large amounts of fuel from Transnet without senior staff members of Transnet and politicians being involved 🤔

Is he the kingpin? This looks bigger than an individual operation. A syndicate probably

Wow these criminal were neat. They ran a clean clean house. Had factories built tankers for storage. Tanker vehicles. A huge house built on the property. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. VOMIT 🤢. SO SICK OF THIS. Thank you Hawks thank you bidvest security company.

And ANC officials and even ministers might be involved

Cyril will clean all 'em up. They think the buffalo is asleep. Get you education up and have some skill in life or else by the time Cyril is done, you'll be in a cage 🤞🏿

The previous security did FOKOLI. They must also be investigated. How come they didn't notice anything was going on?

You dont build that in 3 months

Hai so how do u steal from a fuel line if no government minister was allowing it.

Transnet can wait a bit, Eskom is more urgent. That is where you should be working. Nevertheless, congartulations!

Looking at this guys house , it just proves what my grandfather said to me years ago . Money can buy you many luxuries , but cannot buy you class .

is there any place that hasn't been touched by thieves

So the law jumped in to clamp down on a small setup but state capture went on for yrs and those implicated are still walking around free even if they're fighting ill health

When will we see this type of action from the Hawks against criminal elements within ESKOM?

Only in South Africa what shame!!

Looking at the property, the buildings, the trucks, this must have been going on for years. This is no fly by night thing. But it took a company to catch him in three months while the hawks couldn't/ wouldn't do it in years! This is not Transnet's pipeline! This is our pipeline, SA taxpaying citizens!

Please add 10 years to his sentence for the hideous architecture and interior design. It's criminal

Great work to the Hawks and security firm

see what happens when the ANC leads a country, people learn from them and copy what they do.

Well-done to all involved in this operation.

As a comment has been made , these thugs , hopefully WILL be dealt with by the law , and harshly . Will be interesting to see which lawyers will be lining up to defend this person , because money seems to be a plenty 😊

GOOD WORK!! Lets hope the judiciary play their vital part and send these @#%&*'" away to prison for a long while

Criminals stealing from criminals caught by criminals. I nearly thought the Hawks Colonel \ Spokesperson leading this investigation just came from MCDonalds.

Maybe this guy was only buying fuel for his trucks ....and is not the king pin of stealing 🤔

For the house paint, nah, arrest him.

Now you must offer indemnity to the workers if they can identify the consumers of this fuel

Hi people very good job 👏 You caught the crooks But tomorrow he will come out of bail What hard work you done Is a big zeros Thanks 😊

Levels, the kingpin is being whisked by the helicopter while his employees will be bundled in a van. 🤣🤣🤣

So now for the Hawks to find their mole who leaked their plans.

Lol, ofcourse they were tipped off. If in PTA only one person was arrested, his driver and vehicle companions had enough time to dial back to the homestead and work-place.

All organized crimes require a multidisciplinary approach.

SA is like that man. This people are just out to eat for free bro

This is a TV show he's going to be out and get his properties

Fuel zama zamas... who is not a zama zama in this country of ours.!?

name and shame them

Good start but the clue is “then appear in court “ - that is start of years of postponement as demonstrated by those who have looted billions and not one person in jail . All the while the NPA are missing in action . Are lifestyle audits really that hard - get a list of all G Wagon purchases , Bentleys and any cars over R 3 million and if the owner acquired by nefarious means - straight to jail for 20 years or preferably death sentence 👍

Who person steal? Go to jail for long life stay. Please No bail.

@SARS, @SAPS, neighbour's, community how could you not pick this up and address it years ago? Well done to current investigation team, especially Protea Coin. Pls be vigilant, pray for protection for you.

I notice that most of your videos are always out of sync with audio in most parts_you must employ a proper video editor. I 'm willing to help.

Now the Eskom theifs

He is not alone.....

Very thank hawks 👏🙌🙏👍

There is absolutely no way this guy is the kingpin. 35 years old? He is far too young to be the head of something this sophisticated. He is most likely an overseer of sorts & I doubt the real boss lives in the country. This also reeks of ANC cadre involvement as well as someone at Transnet.

So Is the reason why fuel prices were this expensive

Well done to those who made the arrest

Amazing it's these small victories all adding up will show huge results in South Africa 🇿🇦 yay

Higher the thieving the more little the jail time, the lesser you steal the more jail time..

PRAVIN IS BUSY

They were going to sell it to Dis Chem.

What about all the thefts that is going on at Escom when will the Hawks start making arrest

This clearly has links with HIGHER , power , enabling and assisting , would anybody like to take a guess , as to the HIGHER POWER 😊?

Those buying fuel from him must also be brought to book.

Why can't the same operation be done at Eskom ? Sabotaging the infrastructure. There must be a bigger fish behind him.. This operation is premature , but anyway let's see what can they do when it comes to Eskom, Saa, transport syndicate.

This is a crime scene. As far as I know only police ie investigators must have codoned the scene, comb and do all the initial investigation. When done then release the scene to othet intetested parties like media. Nowa days we see media all over the scene while it processed. They take and publish photos which later may create problems in court. Reveal the identity of suspects before ID parades could be done. Identity of articles or iterms that might need description by witnesses. How do police do their work in these situatios? What about suspect's rights ? Gross interference with police investigation. Media has become untouchables yet they destroy some cases. It is my view.

It's weird that national key points are guarded by the private sector. Bidvest is well cushioned under the current public enterprises Minister

Big wads of cash in his pockets . Crime pays in SA . BUT NOT FOR YOU AND ME !!! 😡

10:13 definitely wasn't expecting that voice 😭

My blood is green and yellow,,ANC for life,,,But for the love of our country,,I will be voting for a differently,,we need to give tough love to our beloved,,looting comrades,

Can the buyers also be Targeted....the workers can strike a deal ....angithini guys

Those cocroaches laying down are said to be all illegal foreigners, but you here some illegal cocroaches, and criminals will deny it

lock them up n no bail

African brothers,what kind of brothers who mess up like this ?🇿🇦

100 million loss of fuel but its 8.5lt fuel did I understand it correctly?

It was so good to listen to a fluent well spoken and informed tv journalist for a change.

This is BS! How do they get away with this for so long? Who in the SAPS should go to jail?

Keep up the good work,guys

show us his face

Whose this kingpin? whose his family?

It is a super operation from the Hawks. I pray that God will reveal more and more of these types of criminal offenses! It will help our country to get back on track. I want to ask all South Africans to pray for the Hawks.

The people who buy must also be nabbed

Small fish.

Everything For Free

Thatha zonke mr president Cyril Ramaphosa were tired in this mafia's are killed the country including Jacob nhloko ekhulu Zuma and Magashule please Mr president Cyril

This has been going on for years and has been reported on many occasions yet nothing was done. It has to be an inside job. Check all the cats that got fat

Thank you Newzroom Africa, great reporting.

Well done to Bidvest and the law enforcement

What about the drug syndicate ? Mine syndicate? The list is long

Money can't buy taste, as we keep finding out. 🏡

SAPS, where are they?

Well done Waal to you and your team, excellent work!. Luckily the police were not involved.

IT IS A SHAME ALL ROUND

It doesn't take a genius to be rich even a doomkop can do it...how do you build and operate in such a huge scale while illegal...🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Hope they get long jail sentences. Also seize all his assets, including the property and sell it off on auction towards compensation.

They will be out on bail tmro

Hawks are the criminals that we are looking for.

Well done Hawks 👏👏👏👏

I guess you turn into a human centipede when arrested for fuel theft .

Job well done, to the HAWKS team.

It's too late because he already made it in life and his lawyers will represent him well in court then he will be free and back to business next week.

Bidvest security belongs to President Cyril. uyithole kanjani ??tender siyadlalwa la. SIU PLEASE INVESTIGATE .

Bidvest coin?.... newsroom Afrika?...sounds like advertising between sister companies.

thank God for private security investigating

I don't buy it at all. Yes he was part of the syndicate but Kingpin, not even close

They should continue doing their darn job

excellent operation....
