A man who allegedly shot and killed a prominent businessman, Ben Gumbi in Rustenburg has been arrested. Gumbi (49) was gunned down by two armed men outside a coffee shop in Rustenburg on 23 August 2023.
The suspects then fled the scene with a blue Volkswagen Polo vehicle, which was found abandoned at the Corner of Helen Joseph and Lourie Streets a few minutes after the incident.
The North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone said the members of a multi-disciplinary team, which was established after the ruthless murder of Gumbi, made a breakthrough when they arrested a suspect, Sibongiseni Ngubane (33) on 12 September 2023.
“Ngubane was arrested in Germiston after attending a court case in which he is facing a charge of armed robbery. He appeared before the Rustenburg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
“Ngubane was remanded in custody pending further investigation and is expected to make a second court appearance on 19 September 2023,” he said.
The North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena applauded the police for their dedication, which resulted in the arrest.
