“The duo was detained at the Benoni SAPS police station, as accomplices to committing a crime and will appear at the Benoni Magistrates Court soon.”

From the ongoing investigation of the case, it’s either the two Nigerian men who stole car parts in South Africa who are sent to prison or they are asked to pay a considerable fine. The latter is likely going to be the case.
