Court to pass judgment in November on former bank employee's theft case

The specialised commercial crimes court sitting in Ga-Rankuwa on Thursday postponed the theft case of former Standard Bank employee Bongani Vincent Nkosi to November 22 for judgment. 

Nkosi, 37, who faces two counts of theft, was employed at the bank’s Mabopane branch. His duties included loading cash into six ATMs and taking out cash from deposits made by customers at those ATMs. 

It is alleged that on February 3 2017 the accused was required to load R630,000 into an ATM.

“Investigations revealed he loaded only R70,000. He took the balance of R560,000 for his own benefit,” National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson in North West Sivenathi Gunya said. 

He was arrested in July 2018 and was granted bail of R5,000.
