The arrest of the men, aged between 45 and 60, was made on Monday afternoon in Gauteng by the South African Police Service (SAPS) Political Killings Task Team, working in collaboration with Gauteng Organised Crime Detectives.
According to a SAPS statement, the three suspects are alleged to be hitmen, while the fourth is believed to be the mastermind who ordered the hit. During the operation, authorities seized the weapon allegedly used in the crime, which has also been linked to other murders.
National Commissioner of SAPS General Fannie Masemola praised the breakthrough. “Well done to the teams that have been piecing together evidence since November 2022. This is a culmination of hard work and dedication to justice. This is one of those complex cases, that our teams needed to take their time in ensuring a thorough investigation, so that we could, ultimately, bring a strong case before the court.”
He expressed hope that the arrests would bring closure to the families affected by the tragedy.
