OR Tambo District Commissioner, Major General Norman Modishana, commended members for the arrest of two stock theft suspects from Tyuma locality, Qumbu, after they were found in possession of livestock that was allegedly stolen from a kraal in Nkonkweni locality, Qumbu, on Monday, 22 June 2026, at about 01:00.
Qumbu police acted on information regarding stolen livestock (21 sheep and 2 goats). The two male suspects were traced and ultimately apprehended at Tyuma locality, Gungqwane A/A, in Qumbu on the same day. All the stolen livestock, valued at around R30 000, was recovered and handed back to the owner. The identification process was easier as the livestock was branded.
The two men, aged 49 and 50, are due to appear before the Qumbu Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, on charges of contravening the #StockTheft Act.
“Relentless efforts by police in the district in fighting crime are highly commendable,” said General Modishana while applauding members for their unwavering dedication to crime fighting.
