Author reacts after two women arrested in Ekurhuleni murder inquiry
Three suspects — one man and two women — were arrested over the weekend in a Gauteng murder investigation, the Gauteng Murder and Robbery Unit said, with a team led by Major General Mbuso Khumalo credited for the breakthrough. The arrests, first reported by eNCA journalist Pule Letshwiti-Jones, relate to a series of killings that have prompted an urgent SAPS probe after several bodies were found in Kempton Park and Dawn Park. Author Jackie Phamotse expressed visible shock on X, drawing strong public pushback because she had earlier blamed men as "primary perpetrators." The suspects were expected to appear in Boksburg Park Magistrates' Court.
