WATCH : General Mkhwanazi’s Men Accused of Kidnap and Torture in DJ Sumbody Murder Probe Johannesburg — A 40-year-old Soweto woman has accused associates of KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi of kidnapping and torturing her in an attempt to extract information about her cousin, murder accused Katiso Molefe, and another relative suspected of being his accomplice. The woman, Lebo Molefe, told Africa News Global that she and three children were seized by men identifying themselves as police officers while dining at Maponya Mall on 16 December 2024. Instead of being taken to Moroka Police Station, they were allegedly transported to multiple police facilities, where she says she was strangled, suffocated with a plastic bag, beaten, tasered and sexually assaulted over two days. Her ordeal allegedly continued as the officers forced her to lead them to various family homes in Katlehong, Fourways and Standerton in search of her brother, Lucky Molefe. During the interrogations, Lebo claims officers threatened to kill her, saying “killing is their daily business.” Molefe is facing trial alongside three alleged hitmen, Michael Pule Tau (55), Musa Kekana (35), and Tiego Floyd Mabusela (47) for the murders of popular musician DJ Sumbody and his two bodyguards in November 2022, as well as the April 2024 killing of Vereeniging engineer Armand Swart. This is not the first time police linked to Mkhwanazi have faced accusations of unlawful conduct. In January, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) began probing claims that rogue Special Task Force members kidnapped a SAPS ballistics expert to obtain crucial evidence in the DJ Sumbody case. Lebo said she has opened a case at Kliptown Police Station and provided medical reports to IPID, but has seen little progress in the investigation. “What I went through is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I will never trust a police officer again,” she said, adding that she is now considering legal action. #generalmkhwanazi #mkhwanazi #saps

The board stressed that imitating or misrepresenting SASL amounts to a violation of language rights, which falls under their mandate to investigate and recommend appropriate action.

WATCH: Shock as Alexandra Robbery Caught on Camera South Africa Daily, Johannesburg, 22 September 2025 Alexandra residents are once again reeling after a brazen robbery on 16th Avenue, Hofmeyer, was caught on video and circulated widely on social media. The footage shows a group of thugs surrounding several people and stripping them of their belongings, including cellphones, alcohol, and any valuables in sight. The victims, visibly shaken, were left helpless as the suspects rifled through their possessions before fleeing. Witnesses claim the perpetrators are well-known local criminals, raising fresh concerns about policing and public safety in the township. “This is not the first time something like this has happened, but now everyone can see it with their own eyes,” said one resident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals. “People are not safe even in broad daylight.” Community leaders say the brazen nature of the robbery underscores the urgent need for stronger law enforcement and visible policing in Alexandra, where crime remains a persistent threat. SA Police Service 🇿🇦 had not issued a formal statement at the time of publication, but residents are demanding swift arrests and long-term measures to restore safety in the area.
