The Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation (known as the Hawks) in the Northern Cape are requesting the public’s assistance in helping find Mayeso Ginora Lufeyo.

The precious metal bars were taken during a home invasion and robbery at Witsloot Farm in Vosburg in November 2022.
The Northern Cape Hawks spokesperson Warrant Officer Nomthandazo Mnisi said it is alleged that during November 2022, a man and his wife were accosted by four suspects wearing balaclavas at their leased farm house.
“The suspects were armed with firearms, including shotguns and they robbed them of gold bars and silver bars worth R40 million as well as a 22 rifle.
“The police were notified, and an armed robbery case was opened which was later transferred to the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation.”
He said stolen gold/silver bars might be sold to unsuspecting buyers.
