Pretoria - A man who was part of a gang which targeted Pep stores around Pretoria asked the court to grant him leave to appeal his 45-year-jail sentence, which he felt was shockingly high. James Rametsi was the man who stood guard at the door during two of the robberies in the Pretoria CBD.
But employees of two of the stores - the one in Bloed Street and the other at Bella Ombre Plaza in Boom Street - were adamant that the 29-year-old was part of the armed gang. During the Bella Ombre Plaza armed robbery the attackers, including Rametsi, took three of the employees to a storeroom, where they were locked up. The robbers did not cover their own faces and they took their time in packing their loot into bags. The victims thus had a lot of time to study their faces, Judge Vivian Mngqibisa-Thusi said.
Life would have been better or 90 yrs
Objection overruled...
Hopefully it's a lesson to all convicted criminal's out there.
