In March 2015, video footage showing the two men accosting SABC contributing editor Vuyo Mvoko as he waited to deliver his report in front of the camera went viral on YouTube.
The cameras were rolling and the faces of the muggers were clearly visible.
Cellphones and a laptop were stolen.
"As the NPA, we are satisfied with the sentence because it is proportionate to the seriousness of the crime," Louw said. – News 24
