Police arrested one of the most wanted men in Mpumalanga during an operation on Friday. The man is a suspect in 14 cases. The man, aged 21, was arrested in Pretoria for the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition last week, said police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala.
Mpumalanga police had been searching for the man in connection with several crimes committed in Bushbuckridge, Calcutta and Kanyamazane. He is believed to be behind 14 cases, including murder, assault, arson, kidnapping and rape, said Mohlala.
"One of the murder cases involves a pregnant woman from Marite, who was sadly shot and killed and her body dumped into the Crocodile River at Kanyamazane. Her lifeless body was retrieved on 22 August 2021," said Mohlala.
The man is expected to appear in the Bushbuckridge, Mkhuhlu and Kanyamazane Magistrate's Courts between Monday and Wednesday.
