Platinum heist planner released on bail

ONE of the masterminds behind a daring and deadly platinum heist in 2011 was released on R10000 bail on Friday.

Judge Glenn Goosen said in his judgment that as Madoda Dopla Nube, 38, of New Brighton, had not broken his bail conditions while he was on bail during the trial, he could be released on bail again pending a decision on his appeal before the Supreme Court of Appeal.

Nube was convicted by the Port Elizabeth High Court on charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances, two counts of attempted murder and six counts of murder.

The charges relate to a botched liquid platinum heist which took place in Deal Party in November 2011. - Estelle Ellis
