In a significant operation, the Hawks Serious Organised Crime Investigation team has arrested two individuals, Joacham Chivayo (33), a Zimbabwean national, and Ayanda Brian Gungwa (20), a South African, for their alleged involvement in gold smuggling. The arrests took place at Helderwyk Estate in South Africa, with approximately R15 million worth of gold seized during the operation.
The arrest of Chivayo, in particular, has sparked interest due to his reported connections to a controversial multi-millionaire tenderpreneur and dealer. While the exact nature of their relationship remains unclear, the high-profile nature of the case and the significant value of the seized gold have raised speculation about potential connections. Further investigation is likely needed to clarify these allegations.
The successful operation by the Hawks is a significant blow to gold smuggling syndicates operating in the region.
