CBD robbers jailed for 15 years
Lentswe, Klerksdorp - Two unem- ployed men were sent to jail for 15 years after robbing a cell phone from an elderly man in the Klerksdorp CBD.
Joel Lephiri (23) and Frans Maka- taka (32) were arrested in May after police officers chased them down after robbing the elderly man. The
duo stabbed the 73-year-old man and ran off with his cell phone.
Sgt Amogelang Malwetse, police spokesperson, said the police found the knife and victim’s cell phone in their possession. Both were detained during trial.
They were sentenced on Thursday October 27 to 15 years imprison-
ment on a charge of robbery with ag- gravating circumstances.
They were also declared unfit to possess a firearm.
The station commander for Klerksdorp SAPS, Brig Neville Sey- mour saluted the two arresting offic- ers and the investigating officers for their dedication and hard work on
the case.
He also expressed gratitude to the complainant who committed him- self and cooperated with the police throughout.
“This helped us rid the CBD from thugs and send them to prison where they belong. I’m glad the old man found justice,’’ he said.

Lentswe, Klerksdorp - A matriculant from THS was fortunate enough to spend some time at one of the world’s top football clubs.
Lebohang Mathikga (18) returned from England on October 11 after spen- ding a week with Manchester United.
He was part of a development team of forty players and also played two mat- ches and visited some of the most fa- mous football grounds.
“I met Quentin Fortune who coaches the u/20 English team, and met players from Bolton Wanderers,” he said.
How did this happen? “I attended a camp in Cape Town with Atletico Ma- drid in March and was selected to go
to England. Now I want to play profes- sional football.”
He played football for his school and won the award for “Most Valuable Play- er”. He plays right back and left back.
Who is your fcourite player? “Ro- naldo, of course.”
He will attend another camp in Cape Town in December and his father is ask- ing for financial help to help his son’s football dreams come true.
Contact Lebohang senior on 073 176 2780 if you can help.
Lebohang Mathikga wants to play pro football.
