Man who murdered guard during CIT heist on the run after getting bail

The Hawks in KwaZulu-Natal are on the hunt for a suspect who made a run for it after being released on bail.

The suspect is facing serious charges after he was involved in a cash-in-transit heist during which a security guard died.

Senzo Jeffery Magwanyana (21) was arrested for a robbery in Kranskop.

The Durban Serious Organised Crime investigation said he is facing charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances, murder and attempted murder.

The CIT heist

On 14 February 2020, a G4S van was delivering money at a service station in Kranskop when one of the security guards was accosted by armed men after getting out of the vehicle.

The gunmen demanded money, took it and fatally shot the guard before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash.

In pursuit of the suspects, a shootout with the police later ensued and the money was recovered.

Magwanya was later arrested and made a court appearance, where he was able to secure bail.

When he was due for the dock, he never returned to court. A warrant of his arrest has been issued.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is requested to contact Captain Phumelela Makhanya on 071 481 3335, or Crime Stop on 0860010111.
