Arrest made in kidnapping and murder of Zimbabwean businessman in South Africa

A 56-year-old man was arrested in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a Zimbabwean businessman and his friend, whose bodies were found with gunshot wounds near Polokwane nearly a year ago. The suspect is expected to appear in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court. The breakthrough arrest after a prolonged investigation tests the cross-border judicial cooperation framework between South Africa and Zimbabwe in resolving violent crimes targeting diaspora entrepreneurs.
