Hangry Turnrite robber and co. found guilty

Matomela—on trial alongside Thapelo Lekobe, Mzwandile Mazibuko, and Ntholepi Ntshalintshali for allegedly stealing P2.1 million meant for deposit into a First National Bank ATM in 2021—cut into the judgment proceedings to demand a health break. The quartet is accused of staging the high-profile cash-in-transit heist at Turnrite Shopping Mall, a case that has gripped the public since their arrest.

“May we please have a break of five minutes so that I can have a food break? It is already 10am. Now I have to eat for my health reasons,” Matomela asked.
