Africa-Press – South-Africa. A 40-year-old man is expected to appear in the Nebo Magistrate’s Court on kidnapping and murder charges on Friday after the discovery of the decomposed body of EFF Limpopo member Thobile Skosana.
Skosana’s lifeless body was found in a river in Khathazweni, outside Hlogotlou, on Thursday. She was last seen attending an event on New Year’s Eve at Holnek village in Zaaiplaas.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said Hlogotlou police had received information that led to the arrest and discovery of Skosana’s body.
EFF Limpopo chairperson Tshilidzi Maraga said the party was saddened by the death of Skosana, who was a party member.
She said she was unaware of a relationship between Skosana and the alleged murderer and added that the party understood that the man was a local.
She added that the party would attend the court appearance and demand the maximum sentence.
She said:
“Government must make more than just make promises. They must also implement. Perpetrators commit these crimes, appear in court and get released on bail the following day.”
In a statement issued by the party, Maraga added that police had failed Skosana: “Police have once again failed us in finding [Thobile] alive despite our call on maximum resources to be deployed to help trace the whereabouts of Thobile.”
