Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Police have arrested three people in connection with the murder of Collins Chabane Municipality Mayor Moses Maluleke and the attempted murder of his son.<\/p>\n

Maluleke was shot dead on 21 July at his home in Shikundu village, Limpopo.<\/p>\n

Collins Chabane mayor shot dead at home during robbery, manhunt for gunmen under way<\/p>\n

News24 previously reported that three gunmen entered 56-year-old Maluleke’s home at around 19:00 that evening and demanded money from him and his 18-year-old son. When they didn’t comply, the gunmen opened fire.<\/p>\n

The mayor died at the scene. His wounded son was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Police offered a R250 000 reward for information on the attackers.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said:<\/p>\n

“Soon after the shootings…the provincial commissioner of police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, visited the scene and immediately assembled a team of investigators, led by a senior officer, to probe the incident. The team succeeded in apprehending the suspects within a week.”<\/p>\n
