Africa-Press – South-Africa. Limpopo

police are looking for a group of people who killed a 35-year-old man in

Marapong township, Lephalale, on Saturday.

allegedly stabbed, stoned, and then burnt Jaffta Moatshe’s body next to a local

liquor outlet before fleeing the scene, police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela

He

said:

A

murder case has since been opened.

The

police were requesting that a person known as Elias “Malankane”

Matsieng report to the nearest police station, as it was believed he could

assist in the investigation, Mojapelo added.

information to contact Lieutenant Colonel Johannes Hlungwane on 082 565 7968,
