“Following a thorough investigation by Greenwood Park SAPS detectives, and countless court dates over the course of seven months, Langeni was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment and found unfit to possess a firearm. This successful conviction highlights the collaboration between Marshall Security and the Greenwood Park SAPS working endlessly together to make communities safe.
