13 February 2025- Two South African Police Services (SAPS) chaplains attached to the ZFM District Employee Health and Wellness section, were commended by the District Commissioner, Major General Monica Sebili on Wednesday, 12 February 2025, for their swift response which disrupted a possible theft out of motor vehicle incident.

The ZF Mgcawu District police spokesperson, Sergeant Omphile Masegela said Chaplains Mario Titus and Sekopane Mosetle, were busy with their normal daily duties when they noticed two men offloading items through a canopy window of a van.

“They approached to investigate and the two fled on foot, leaving the items behind. The members placed the items back in the vehicle after trying to pursue the suspects.

“The public is urged to ensure their safety and that of their property at all times when parking their vehicles by ensuring that all doors and windows are locked and scanning the surrounding area before leaving the vehicle unattended,” said Masegela.

13 February 2025- A man (39) is expected to appear before the Klerksdorp Magistrate’s Court today, for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Tsholofelo Hati (31). The suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening, 12 February 2025, after a tip-off was received about his whereabouts in Jouberton Township, near Klerksdorp.

The North West police spokesperson, Colonel Adele Myburgh said, the reports suggest that, the police were summoned to a murder scene earlier on Monday, 10 February 2025, where Hati’s lifeless body was found in Extension 13. Myburgh said it is suspected that the victim was suffocated to death.

“She was declared dead on the scene by Emergency and Medical Rescue Services (EMRS),” she said.

Meanwhile, the acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General Patrick Asaneng, has once more requested couples to resolve their differences peacefully rather than resorting to violence and to seek professional assistance from social workers and other professionals to avoid sad situations like this one.
