Former SAPS member sentenced for selling State firearms

In October 2019, Job, who was a Constable responsible for static security at national key points and residences of VIPs in the Free State, arranged for people to steal firearms from a safe at the PSS offices. She further offered her official firearm to would-be robbers at a fee of R50 000.

The Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation detectives became aware of Job’s plans. She was arrested on 8 October 2019 during a mock transaction. On 30 July 2024, the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court found the accused guilty.

Free State Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks), Major General Mokgadi Bokaba is pleased by the officer’s removal from the service and society. “She was a danger to her colleagues and society at large. These firearms would have been used to rob, rape, and kill had they landed in the wrong hands,” she said.
