The Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) in KwaZulu-Natal obtained a forfeiture order to seize the Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe belonging to accused unrest looter Mbuso Moloi.

Moloi is currently facing charges of theft and public violence relating to the looting at a Woolworths store in the Glenwood area during the July unrest.

"The car, which was forfeited on the basis that it is an instrumentality of the offences, was valued at approximately R500 000 at the time of the offence. Since the vehicle is still under purchase agreement from a bank, the vehicle will be handed over to the bank in due course," National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara said on Thursday.

The criminal matter against Moloi is set down for trial from 27 to 31 March 2023. He is out on bail of R5 000.

The AFU welcomed the development, saying it reinforces the NPA's strategy to focus not only on prosecutions but also on taking away assets where they are proven to be instrumental in the commission of a crime.
