Johannesburg – A Jozi FM DJ suspected of murdering his girlfriend was scheduled to appear in the Protea Magistrate’s Court in Soweto on Thursday.

A tip-off to police led to his arrest on Tuesday.

He had been on the run for a week.

The presenter at the Soweto-based community radio station was accused of stabbing his girlfriend several times in a flat in Jabulani, Soweto on 29 June.

He apparently phoned the woman’s friend and confessed to killing her, police said at the time.

A R50 000 reward had been offered for information leading to his arrest.
