Noxolo Perseverance Job (39) appeared before the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on 30 July 2024, where she was convicted for conspiracy to commit armed robbery and contravention of Section 120 of the firearms control Act 60 of 2000.
In October 2019, Job, a former police Constable who was attached to Protection and Security Services (PSS) in Bloemfontein, recruited people to stage a robbery and steal firearms from a safe at the PSS offices. She further lent her official firearm to the would-be robbers at an amount of R50 000. A whistle-blower who had become privy to Job’s plans informed the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation team based in Bloemfontein. The Hawks followed up on the information. On 08 October 2019, Job was arrested during a mock transaction. She appeared in court on several occasions culminating in her conviction.
The case against Job has been remanded to 09 December 2024 for sentencing.
