SAPS makes breakthrough in political murder cases

The South African Police Service (SAPS) says it has made a major breakthrough in cracking politically- linked murders in Gauteng, with five suspects arrested in two separate high-profile cases.

Two suspects are in custody for the 2025 murder of ANC Ward 10 councillor, Thabang Masemola, in Mamelodi, while three others are suspects in the murder of EFF member, Aaron Makola.

Police say the arrests follow investigations by the newly established Gauteng Political Killings Task Team.
