AN ex-Hawks captain, jailed for his involvement in one of the country’s biggest heists which netted a gang of over a dozen robbers over R100 million, is appealing his conviction and sentence.
Bhekani Gcabashe, previously attached to the Hawks’ Mpumalanga organised crime unit, left the SA Police Service in 2011, three years before the robbery at an SBV Services cash depot in eMalahleni, where two security guards were overpowered and relieved of their firearms.
