Two Zimbabwean nationals were on Monday sentenced to 165 years imprisonment each by a Musina magistrate court in South Africa.
The duo allegedly robbed hitchhikers along the N1 highway in South Africa’s Limpopo province.
The duo of Farai Mabosvo (29) and Jane Mukutiri (38) were each convicted on 11 counts of robberies with aggravating circumstances and assaults. They were slapped with 15 years for each count.
Limpopo Province SAPS spokesperson Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said that the two accused persons were arrested in connection with robbery cases reported to them between 2014 and 2015.
