Overview
- Testifying to Parliament, Bheki Cele said police investigators concluded Anele Tembe was murdered and that prosecutors repeatedly declined to enroll the case or issue a certificate for a private prosecution.
- Tony Forbes rejected any implication his son, rapper AKA, killed Tembe, calling Cele’s remarks unfair and noting the inquest is still expected to proceed.
- At the Madlanga Commission, anonymous SAPS witnesses alleged senior interference in the Armand Swart murder probe, naming Major General Richard Shibiri and citing a missing docket and bribe approaches.
- A witness alleged Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe paid R2.5 million to secure bail, a claim publicly rejected by acting Gauteng Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba; Molefe was granted R400,000 bail on 10 October.
- Cele also recounted a hotel meeting where Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala purportedly said he was asked to fund Senzo Mchunu’s ANC leadership bid, a claim Mchunu denies.
