Police investigations revealed that the vehicle’s owner was with a man when he dropped off the Ford Ranger on January 17 at around 10 PM.
During their preliminary investigations, police found bloodstains inside the vehicle, two empty rifle cartridges, three empty 9mm pistol cartridges, one fragment of 9mm ammunition, six live 9mm rounds, two black 9mm pistol magazines (one with 15 rounds and one empty), and a pair of black gloves.
A 24-year-old suspect, believed to be involved in the incident, was arrested early Wednesday at his residence in Tshamutumbu.
He was found with two firearms, including a hunting rifle with ammunition, after an intelligence-driven operation by police in Musina.
At the time, the vehicle’s owner and his wife, originally from Mutale in Limpopo, were still missing.
Further investigation led to the discovery of the 29-year-old woman’s body, with multiple gunshot wounds, on Wednesday night, in bushes along the N1 in Kromdraai, Free State. Said Ledwaba:
<blockquote>
Preliminary investigation revealed that the husband, who was supposed to be travelling with the deceased, passed the Verkeerdeveli toll gate alone in the same bakkie on January 17. It was at the turn-off in Kromdraai where the woman’s body was discovered.
</blockquote>
The provincial police commissioner in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, strongly condemned the “senseless shooting” that resulted in the woman’s death.
The South African Police Service is searching for the deceased woman’s husband, Dakalo Nemangwele, 34, who they believe can assist in the murder investigation.

Harare Woman (20) Beats Up Daughter To Death

The death of Hillary Nleya, a military intelligence officer, has raised questions of foul play following his mysterious disappearance last month.
As reported by <a href="https://cite.org.zw/senator-tells-parliament-military-officer-found-hanging-was-murdered/">CITE</a>, Nleya was last seen at Redwood along the Plumtree-Bulawayo road, and his body was later discovered hanging from a tree in Figtree, Matabeleland South Province.
While his death was initially classified as a suicide, the narrative changed when Nleya’s military connections were revealed, raising suspicions about the circumstances surrounding his demise.
During a parliamentary debate on the Death Penalty Abolition Bill last week, Senator Lwazi Sibanda, a cousin of the late Nleya, suggested that he may have been murdered. She said:
<blockquote>
I rise with a heavy heart. I am a woman, a mother, and a Senator of this country, yet I stand here with a cousin lying in the mortuary—Hilary Nleya—whom we searched for over two weeks, only to find him dead in Figtree. He was murdered by a person we do not yet know.
</blockquote>
Sibanda said that while she supports the Bill, the issue is complex, as some individuals convicted of murder do not exhibit any remorse. She said:
<blockquote>
I am a law-abiding citizen of this country. I am grateful that we have a President who was spared from the death penalty.
I am a citizen who respects the law, and I am committed to the abolition of the death penalty.
We remember Geneva Sibanda, who was murdered by his gardener and wife. We remember many of our friends, colleagues—even among us—who have been murdered by people roaming the streets.
Some are known, some are unknown; some are in prison and brag about killing those they have killed.
It is painful in our hearts to say that sentencing these people to death does not serve our country.
Killing them like animals does not matter to us.
People will die. People will be killed by those we show remorse to, who don’t even show any remorse to us.”
It is so painful that I stand here defending people who will go out and kill their grandparents, or their mothers, simply because there was no food to cook for dinner. They will kill them just because their mother failed to provide food for them.
It is painful to spare a murderer who shows no remorse, like someone who kills a helpless young woman walking home after work just to steal her bag.
When they realise they’ve been seen, they kill her to prevent identification. They don’t care about tomorrow—they put a knife in her heart to save themselves.
There is so much pain caused by these murderers that we are still defending as a country.
We will keep them in prison for years, just to protect them from death, while they show no care for this nation.
I have so much more to say about the abolition of the death penalty.
</blockquote>
The Bill was subsequently passed by the Senate and is now awaiting President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s assent to become law.
