The Kinross SAPS arrested five suspects in connection with the murder of Siyabonga Mathebula (20), who was allegedly stabbed by gang members in Extension 25. Mathebula succumbed to his injuries while being treated at the hospital. The incident occurred shortly after two rival gangs were embroiled in a turf war, with Mathebula encroaching on gang territory, according to reports.

According to the SAPS reports, the rival gang revolted and torched a vehicle, and damaged several residences while on the hunt for the suspects. SAPS investigations led to the arrest of the suspects in Leandra. The suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues.
