Province appoints task team to investigate murder of well-known community builder

 

The provincial police say that they are doing to their best to crack the case of the heinous murder of a community builder, Mr Mushathama Musweswe. The 40-year-old Musweswe was shot dead at his home at Tshixwadza village in the Mutale area in May.

The police's spokesperson, Capt Mamphaswa Seabi, said that it was the police's duty, once a criminal case had been opened, to see to it that the case was investigated properly and that all evidence was put together. “A provincial task team has been appointed to investigate this case,” Seabi said.

Musweswe was a businessman, community chairperson and correctional officer working in the Thohoyandou Management Area (Department of Correctional Services). The murder had shocked the family, community members and his colleagues, to the extent that even residents hardly speak about the killing for fear of victimisation.

Musweswe was in his house with his wife. The two unknown men, armed with firearms, stormed into the house, opened fire, shooting Musweswe four times, and his wife once in the leg. Musweswe died at the scene, while his wife survived.

Musweswe had first escaped death when unknown people shot him twice when he was driving to work on 8 April. Luckily he had managed to drive himself to hospital for medical assistance.

He was laid to rest on Saturday.
