Controversial Major Mfesane Bhekizulu, an Eastern Cape businessman, has denied being involved in the murder of his girlfriend, Singwa Namhla Mtwa.
Mtwa, the 35-year-old OR Tambo municipal employee, was shot nine times in her car after arriving at her Mthatha house in Sidwadwa on April 21. She was found dead at the site with gunshot wounds to her upper torso. No one has been charged as a result of the incident.
Who is Major Mfesane Bhekizulu?
According to News24, after the Singwa Namhla family unlocked her smartphone and uncovered unsettling messages supposedly written by him, authorities have turned their attention to Bhekizulu, her 41-year-old businessman’s boyfriend.
On social media, public members have sworn to deal with the man themselves. Bhekizulu told News24 that citizens should let the police do their job and that he was not the person they should be looking for.
Before hanging up, Mfesane declined to answer any further questions and said he was busy. He got arrested in September 2018 for allegedly shooting and killing his employee Mxolisi Mthunjwa on August 11 and critically injuring another, Thmebela Somana.
On allegations of premeditated murder and attempted murder, the Ngqeleni Magistrate’s Court in Mthatha granted the businessman R50 000 bail. At the time of writing, National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Luxolo Tyali was unable to clarify the progress of the court case.
