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.
