Police have made an arrest for the murder of law student Tsireledzo Wanga Mphaphuli, who was killed in December on his first day as a Bolt driver in Pretoria.
Garsfontein police received a tipoff from a resident that the alleged killer was in Nantes, Eersterust. Station commander Col Kerwin Solomons and Eersterust police officers rushed to the address, said spokesperson Sgt Sam Shibambo.
“The police raided the suspect’s room and ... they found the slain driver’s belongings. The suspect co-operated with the police and as a result, the police are slowly closing the net on his accomplices,” Shibambo said. Mphaphuli, 20, was asked to assist as a Bolt driver last month. On his first day, he received a request from riders who wanted to travel from Garsfontein to Eersterust.
He used his VW Polo to ferry the riders but when they arrived in Eersterust, they robbed him and stabbed him in the upper body, said Shibambo. He managed to drive to George Hood Avenue in Eersterust, where residents noticed him and called the police.
