Mothapo Murder Suspect Arrested | Johannesburg News
Description
Limpopo police deliver a major breakthrough in the murder of businessman Tebogo Mothapo, arresting a 29-year-old suspect in Mankweng who was found with the victim’s stolen cellphone — a key piece of evidence. The killing occurred on December 16, 2025, and the suspect, a naturalized South African of Pakistani origin, is set to face murder and theft charges in court on July 22. This arrest brings hope to the shaken business community and signals police are closing in on justice. Separately, authorities also nabbed a 55-year-old man in Thohoyandou accused of luring women into his car, assaulting them at the Nandoni River, and robbing them — with links to multiple sexual offenses. Police praise the swift takedown, underscoring their commitment to protecting women and pursuing every lead.
